I spent all of yesterday building a PC (NOT easy, Jesus Christ) and now it needs an OS. Fuck windows, or course, so I want a Linux OS. I’ll be mainly using my PC for gaming and editing videos, and I’d much prefer something that works similarly to Windows just for comfort purposes since I’m already familiar. Also I’ve heard Linux is incompatible with some games?

So, nerds, what do you recommend?

    These are gaming distros that are trendy right now:

    I use Cachy on my Steam Deck and laptop. I don’t use game on my laptop but it has been working alright on both systems.

    Bazzite is supposed to be based on Fedora Atomic. I don’t understand Atomic systems too well but mostly it means that the root filesystem is immutable and you install apps through flaptaks and such. It makes your system less prone to breaking. So keep that in mind if you choose it.

    If you choose Linux you are probably going to play around with a few distros before settling in on one so try to have fun with the process.

    Edit: I also recommend the KDE variant of whatever you use. KDE is intuitive and familiar if you are coming from Windows. It is also mature, stable and batteries-included.
