Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.

Now don’t get me wrong, they’re great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.

    I’ve used Mint for close to 6 years on various desktops and laptops and it’s rock solid reliable. My main computer runs LMDE 6 without any issues.

    I’m still surprised how little attention Nobara gets when it comes to this. It’s such a wonderful just works out of the box distro.

    Ubuntu is the most popular and common distro

    OEM vendors primarily use it as their reference distro when testing and supporting drivers, hardware, applications, games, etc.

    It’s the path of least resistance.

    I’ve been usung mint for about a month now.

    I want to get rid of Windows, but I don’t want to spend my day sudo-ing my ass off.

    Give me a gui for everything and doubleclick installers, and a release that is stable above all else.

    I’m open to suggestions though! So shoot away which distro I should be using :)

    My nephew uses arch btw.
