Thread 1545701

Any recommendations for Gaming Linux distros?

>>1545701 (OP)
I've heard Bazzite exists but I've never touched it

You can't game on Linux because it runs the same framework as Apple computers so you need to buy Apple games.

Gaming works on every distro. Stop falling for gamer distro memes.

>>1545725
Only if the distro is supported by Apple

>>1545701 (OP)

I'd like a further explanation of how you think different linux distros differ in terms of gaming capabilities.

>>1545701 (OP)
all distros game the same it about picking
which meets youre needs like if you need
a super stable os debian youre best friend
that the one i use or need bleeding edge
arch

>>1545701 (OP)
It shouldnt matter what distro you have for the most part.

Why are linuxniggers so unhelpful?

>>1546032
? We are answering the question.
It doesn't matter which distro you choose. Retard.

>>1546032
They're used to having to configure everything anyway that they don't understand the concept of "a distro with sane defaults that allows you to spend less time configuring everything"

i personally use this one

What the h is a distro anyways?

Cachyos, it has it's own proton versions which are very good. Bazzite is too weird.

what happened to steamOS?

>>1546328
It's not for desktop, doean't really do anything special, no use for it outside deck.

>>1546258
>based on Arch
updating the OS might be a game for you but i don't think that's what OP is referring to by a "gaming distro"

>>1546363
Never had issues with arch updates, I think the meme exist because AUR, which you shouldn't use.

>>1546370
What repos would you recommend for updates? I'm using Garuda, currently, and it uses Chaotic as its default. I've had update issues, but that's because it's a "bleeding edge" distro and it's making me want to move away from that. At least it comes with basically all the tools you need to easy fix whatever problems it causes, but eh.

>Indian distro with third-party repository
>having issues
You don't say.
Use a Ubuntu or Debian based distro like a normal person and stop making a game out of your operating system.

>>1545712
What the in the retard
>>1545701 (OP)
I would think Fedora or Arch, just so you have up-to-date software/drivers. I got way better fps on fedora than I do on Ubuntu or Mint. Arch would probably be even better, but it's less stable because it's rolling release.

>>1545701 (OP)
Nabora, catchy os are good choices

>>1545701 (OP)
Ubuntu

It's true that distros are just a meme. You can take any distro and convert it to any other. A distro is just a set of pre-installed software with some config and naming conventions. But if you are asking this question, you must be a newfag, so take the easy way. A lot of software from companies is tested and released specifically for Ubuntu just because is one of the most popular, even when you can make run on almost any other distro with some work.

Windows 10 LTSC with WSL

>>1546932
I'm trans BTW

That's 99% of modern distros with Plasma 6
It isn't 2002 anymore

>>1547128
There is no Linux Mint level "just works" distro equivalent for KDE.

>>1546932
Sorry but windows 10 is now unsupported as they say

>>1547706
Wtf it's already 2032???

>>1547779
Not yet, anon

do games just run in Wine or some other kind of of sandbox / emulator? what's the added resource cost associated with this? it's been at least 15 years since I tried gaming in Linux

>>1547898
if you have games on steam then you don't have to do much (other than enabling steam play compatibility - it's just two clicks) since steam comes with their own version of wine called proton. many games run as normal out of the box, some games will require special fixes (see protondb for per game compatibility reports) and some multiplayer that require kernel level anticheats will not work on linux. performance is close to native but it depends on the game.

if you have pirated/gog games then you have to install wine or bottles (which includes proton and community versions of proton) but it's not as painful as it was 10 years ago.

as for the distro, i wouldn't recommend any special snowflake distro, something like kubuntu of fedora kde will do.

>I NeEd a GaMinG LinUx DisTrOs?
Arch, all you need
>BuT WhAt AbOuT caChY Os
Based on Arch, better off running a vanilla Arch
>HoW AbOut sTeA-
Also Arch

>>1547920
I am tempted to try Fedora KDE but the whole post-install setup with the codecs and everything confuses me.

>>1547979
try installing Ultramarine Linux, it's fedora with codecs and other things preconfigured basically.
