No, but Linuxfags finally convinced me. In a couple more years when my Windows 10 will become obsolete I will switch to Linux to delay installing Windows 11 a bit longer. Linux gaming has made great steps since I last checked 7 years ago.What gaming distro would you recommend someone who isn't shy around the terminal or editing config files? I'm thinking if SteamOS is good enough for the Steam Deck and Steam Machine it's good enough for me, but maybe there are better distros out there. No Arch, thanks.

The only reason to use Winshit is nshitia support. shitMD garbage is still light years behind nvidia but alas only ayyMD works well on Loonix.
I shill Linux so it'll get popular enough to where nvidia stops treating it like an afterthought and I will be free of using AMDementia ewaste just because I like Linux over Windows.

Yes, it works just fine. Mint Cinnamon. The only games I can't play are ones that use specific anti-cheat like Fortnite. Although Easy Anticheat games work just fine.

CachyOS is simply the best option. I used almost every distro that gets mentioned nowadays for the longest time. I've used obscure shit. I've played around in the past with crap like Manjaro and some weird memes like Solus OS.
I don't give a fuck is too popular or too gaymery for you. I don't give a fuck Arch exists. I don't give a fuck you don't perceive any performance improvements (hell that's not even a reason for me to use it). It is just the most sane current option whether it's for someone already experienced or a damn refugee. Hell I made a pretty neat script for openSUSE TW (I've used it extensively), and I'd still rather use CachyOS. I've used Arch back in 2011, installed it the normal way, no archinstall horseshit, and I'd still go for CachyOS. Hell I used endeavourOS and I'd still rather use CachyOS. You're wasting your mother fucking time here.

Yes, been for about a year now after dual booting for like 10 years.Mostly it's been smooth sailing, however mods are still a pretty big issue. Which is annoying. Straight up had to give up on a few games like New Vegas and Baldur's Gate EE.
A
Anon03/14/26, 23:06No.734980305
Yes. On steam deck and Fedora on my desktopGuessing the Deck is getting more use this year as first baby was born a couple weeks ago and I need to be able to pick up and put down games quicker these daysI also have a Switch 2 from launch which serves the same purposeOverall the deck convinced me that my desktop was ready to at least dual boot W11 and Linux. Since I installed it I hopped from Ubuntu to Fedora and have settled into it. I've used Windows maybe 3 or 4 times, if that in the last year and a half or so. I don't see myself ever switching back to Windows full time for my personal machine.

Protip from a linux gamer of 5+ years. DO NOT USE A GAMER/BULKY DISTROGet Arch, install through Archinstall, only install the bare minimum necesities. The less packages you have the less likely you are of breaking your system. This is pretty much all I have installed on my gaming PC, besides dwm and st that I installed from source. A rolling release distro means quick kernel updates. Minimal distro = less dependencies. A distro with a big repository means you don't need to mess around with manual builds. Non-redhat/Non-corpo distros are better and less trooned out. Arch checks all of these requirements. If you install Steam through Arch's package repository it will prompt you to choose the correct GPU drivers and set them up for you so you don't need to do anything else.Gaming is so easy on linux once you take the minimal arch pill.

Sry Im not dumb and 17 looking for an XP alternative like Mac OS or Linux. I actually had those experiences and nowadays Windows 10 absolutely destroys them unless you want to make art on Mac. Linux is a pedophile trying to groom clueless teenagers, and Microsoft is for the people despite Billy Mitchell Gates being a pedophile himself, my micro aint fucking soft bitch. WINDOWS.Linux is not an OS, its a pretend-OS where you watch a weirdo talk about distros on your phone while slowly falling to sleep.
