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.
If you have to ask someone else whether you should switch then you should not switch.
I am asking if my hardware will enable me to have a good experience since I know nvidia has issues on linux.
not by default. Your mileage may vary but I’ve had little to no trouble with my setup.
NVIDIA hardware is developed to run on Linux
Your post doesn’t ask that.
The main text kinda does. Maybe I worded it a bid badly.
I disagree.
They’re asking based on their specs whether Linux will run fine for them. Not whether they should switch based on usability. Having to ask if your specs can run Linux fine is not a reason not to switch.
That ask is a bad question when an E machine from 2005 will run swimmingly with any distro. The better question would be will it do what I want in the way that I want and no one asks. Bonus tho as two years ago I didnt see this kind of person actively searching for a new OS.
The post does not ask that.
