Linux gamers, what distro are you currently on? (beehaw.org)

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!

In my case, I use Fedora exclusively (no dual boot).

I tried PopOS, but I had problems with each update.

Any particular reason for Fedora or is that just what you are comfortable with?

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No real reason I think.

I had problems with PopOS, but I could have gone Mint since it's the one I knew the most.

But since I was reinstalling, I gave Fedora a try, and I liked it so I kept it.

Feels like that's pretty common these days. Most of the big distros are polished enough to get the work done without jumping through too many hoops really.
