    GPU drivers

    If you have AMD GPU, it “just works” with pretty much any Linux distribution since the driver is included with the kernel.

    If you have an NVIDIA GPU, you need to install the drivers from your distribution’s package manager. That’s usually pretty easy, at AFAIK Ubuntu and Mint detect it and prompt you to install them.

    Once it’s installed, just update your system like normal and you’ll always have the latest drivers.

    ideal Linux flavour

    It doesn’t really matter, just pick something you like. If you’re using Steam, it’s basically the same experience regardless of the distro.

    So pick something relatively popular so you have better options if you run into an issue. I recommend Mint, but plenty of others work well.
