Lately I’ve been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I’ve tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don’t know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.
Bazzite is a Fedora Atomic-based gaming distro. You cannot rollback your drivers separately, but you can rollback your whole system image, as it is an immutable distro.
Bazzite works so well out of the box that I don’t even have to think about drivers.
Been running it for two months and it’s magic. Also on my deck. Fantastic software.
Seconding this. All the pain ive incurred was due to nvdia, but I just had to get one for the cuda and RT. I wish i had dlss though. Maybe it will get implemented later who knows.
Yeah, install the distro, done. No more thinking about anything. The distro does it all for you.
