Fedora. Switched to Linux full time over a year ago, after years and years and years (like… 06/07?) of dabbling. It blows my mind how polished and wonderful it is to use. It’s completely everything I need, and it always blows my mind that it’s fucking free
My computer isn’t good enough for gaming, but I use the steam deck for that. I’m accidently 100% Linux (well, and android, which doesn’t really count). Lol. But, man, I was nervous about making the switch to completely Linux. The only time I’d done that before was back in like 09 when I had this shitty Acer laptop that I swapped to Ubuntu because it simply would not run windows. That wasn’t a great experience, but things weren’t as polished then, plus it was the world’s worst laptop. Now I feel like I’ve upgraded to something that should cost 5 times the price. Like, it feels like I should be embarrassed by how good it is, like it was a splurge or an irresponsible financial decision. And it’s free!
There are some games that run anti-cheat that just don’t run. I don’t play any of those at the moment, but other than that, no.
The odd thing has quirks, but between Steam and Lutris, I’m good. Not a heavy duty gamer though.
Not an app, but a whole ass OS.

Hear hear! I’m living in Fedora-land for school and gaming, and I run into way less trouble than my classmates!

Do you face many compatibility issues when gaming?
