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.

    Thanks, was aware of that. I have pretty much stopped playing Val, and if I ever needed to, I could boot back into Windows.

      Rust is another big game which isn’t working, the game runs very smooth but you won’t be able to join any server outside maybe not even a handful servers or you can go selfhosted.

      ProtonDB is a great source of compatible games, if it runs on Steamdeck, it will run on your Linux PC aswell. https://www.protondb.com/explore

      It’s worth to check it out before making the switch, just so you won’t be disappointed in the end.
