Is PopOS the best for easy gaming? (beehaw.org)

Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won't run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don't mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

While we are at the topic of Pop!OS...I'm about to install it on my laptop with AMD iGPU and dedicated Nvidia GPU. Can someone tell me if I should use the Nvidia iso in that case?

Sorry for hijacking your post ':D

Use the nvidia one im pretty sure. I think it will come with the proprietary nvidia drivers preinstalled

Thanks for the quick and easy answer! I'll try that one
