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.

PopOS isn’t shit

PopOS is a good introduction, but frustrating if you want to go outside their sandbox.

Manjaro is shit.

Man, I love seeing comments like this, I get a good chuckle out of it every time. The wildly different experiences I’ve read about almost every linux distro out there just makes it all seem … shit. You could have a great time with distro X and inevitably there will be somebody crawling out of the woodwork to crap on your parade. :D

I know that feel. Go to any forum for a distro and there will be people writing glowing reviews about how this OS solved my distro hopping. The next one will say the previous was trash!
