Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

    I am on Garuda Linux running their KDE Dr460nized Gaming Edition. It is based on Arch Linux, btw. Because it is Arch, I only recommend it to moderate to advanced linux users, maybe newbies if they are not the kind to go running to a help forum and post, but instead research and figure things out. With that said, Garuda comes with a handy click/install GUI for many things, but a special section for Gamers that makes installing everything you need easy and simple.

    If you are a newbie, I would recommend an Ubuntu distro because it has a HUGE help forum to get your feet wet. In that, I would recommend Drauger OS, it is Ubuntu for Gamers.
