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?

    If by streaming you mean stuff like Netflix, Prime Video and such, that is actually a problem on Linux. Netflix will only go to 720p and other services are either 480p or 720p. The only streaming platform I know of that streams 1080p on Linux is Crunchyroll, but last I checked they were partnering with an Israeli company, so fuck them.

    I’ve also heard a lot about CachyOS as well, which might be somewhat more performant for gaming since it’s built on Arch.

    There’s a lot of hype around CachyOS, but it being Arch based shouldn’t really make a difference when compared to any Fedora based distros like Bazzite because both would be fairly up-to-date, any difference in performance would probably come down to either specific choices in those distros or an issue that might not be solved in other distros.

    Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy moving to the Tux side sicko yes
