I really enjoy archlinux so I was thinking on downloading garuda gaming but I'm unsure if that's the way to go. What distro do you guys use? Have you encontered many problems with it?

I use Mint for my main gaming PC. Most things worked out of the box.

On my previous laptop everything worked out of the box, I jus had to install the nvidia driver. On my newest one the GPU required a newer driver than what was available for my kernel, so I had to experiment with various combinations of kernel and driver combinations before I found something that worked well.

I settled for kernel 6.0.0-1018 + nvidia 535.40.03 for my rtx4060.
