So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don’t wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don’t rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

    Yeah back then I was in elementary school. I chased single percent performance gains from bleeding edge because I couldn’t just buy better hardware. If you wanted the latest versions of anything ubuntu couldn’t do it without iffy unofficial repos and dependency hell. I did it anyway and it sucked.

    Wait wait… if you had an old ass computer, why did you need the bleeding edge stuff? That doesn’t make sense.

    Also, I’m still skeptical about immutable distros. I like being in control of my PC. And I’m too old school I guess.

      mostly cases like “experimental/preliminary support for xyz but only if you compile from source or use unofficial repos”, video codecs in that janky era, assorted functionality now taken for granted, etc. Nothing really needs bleeding edge any more hence why I don’t use arch on my desktop any more and my server computers are mostly debian.
