Linux distribution for gaming and media centre. - eviltoast

Heya! I’m looking to install Linux for the first time on parts from my old pc builds to use as a media centre and multiplayer gaming system in my living room. Something with as clean as possible interface with room for customization would be cool. Oh and support for my old nvidia gpu.

I’m also looking for general tips and advice for beginners if anyone has some to share.

    it is strange you got downvoted because certain important games and tools does not work on Linux such as game pass or Destiny 2

      Gamepass Cloud works. What won’t work is Gamepass PC, because Microsoft doesn’t care, and wraps it up in an unmodifiable container.

      GamePass is a service for mildly entertaining games (around 7/10 score). The better ones leave the service Netflix style all the time and for the games I’ve checked DLC was not included, so purchasing needed.

      Destiny 2 fell down to mixed reception in recent months according to Steam. Most Sony PC games launch Steam Deck verified these days. Same for many other games. Since SteamOS is a Linux distribution, compatibility extends to other mainstream distributions.
