Linux gamers, what distro are you currently on? - eviltoast

I’m currently on Win11 but I’m getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it’s so big and well supported by most things.

I’ve run Arch in the past but I’ve gotten too old and lazy for that if I’d be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though… and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I’d try out first this time so I figured I’d get some inspiration from you guys!

      Yeah, that’d be a no for me.

      Especially problematic since I’m on a laptop so I can’t really switch out the GPU either.

      Unfortunately it’s pretty much impossible to support Nvidia on Linux unless you have a large enough team to test each of their GPUs individually and find workarounds for all of the bugs. Their Linux drivers are really bad.

      The bigger projects have been able do that, but if it’s a relatively new project with only a handful of people working on it, and it’s not used on the steam deck, there’s basically no chance it’ll support Nvidia.
