Recommended linux variant for gaming.
I've been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don't like the direction they seem to be heading.
I've also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I'm sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?
I'm not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don't want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?
If you like Ubuntu but don't like the direction it's going, you can try Mint. It's Ubuntu, but with the bad decisions reversed. Or use LMDE, which is Mint but Debian based.
I’ll +1 for LMDE here as well.
Yep. LMDE, add the kisak-mesa PPA and use Steam Flatpak and you're off to the races
I just run Ubuntu on an old Mac for email and browsing.
Just curious, what are these bad directions?
