Fedora kde takes like 5 min to set up and start downloading games on steam. Not sure why you think it’s not ready.

Indeed, I've been exclusively running Fedora KDE on both my desktop and my laptop for a little over a year. It took all of maybe an hour to get it installed on both, get steam and all of the applications I wanted installed, and be ready to start downloading games on both computers.

I also have yet to find a game, aside from games with kernel level anticheat and a small handful of VR titles that isn't perfectly playable. Some have needed a little bit of tweaking to run optimally, but if you're a PC gamer that's par for the course.

An hour is less than a windows pc fresh install. After you download each driver for your mother board etc. Fedora was steam and the nvidia driver. It was like 3 commands.

I am a pc gamer but I don’t have a massive library. Chose punk, read dead, forza 5, doom, and the command and conquer package is what I mostly play. 0 issues with any of them and I didn’t have to tweak anything.

I haven’t tried vr yet, letting that one bake in but I’d like to try MS flight simulator or dcs with vr
