Best Desktop Distro for Gaming? (lemmy.world)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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?

Since they want it for gaming, Nobara might be a better option. Based on Fedora, but comes bundled with everything they would need for it.

"Bazzite is an OCI image that serves as an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck, and a ready-to-game SteamOS-like for desktop computers, living room home theater PCs, and numerous other handheld PCs."
