I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best distro to use for gaming, with casual use as well? Any suggestions?
I use Arch through EndeavourOS. It takes a bit of setup but it’ll do what you need. It can get complicated and it easily breaks, but that’s what you get when you go cutting edge with Arch.
Alternatively you can look at pre-configured gaming distros like Nobara which I believe is based on Fedora, which is a very well supported distro in general. Nobara’s stated goal is to be a streamlined distro for point-and-click users that includes 3rd party drivers off the rip.
