Linux gamers, which one? 🐧 🎮

@itsfoss
Manjaro. Very quick to setup including Steam, Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher. Simply worked for me on every machine, even those that needed some kind of tinkering using other distros.

@Ethon Manjaro is quite cool that way!

@itsfoss I've been using Manjaro right now. Not happy with the various *buntu flavors (and mainline Ubuntu itself is unusable for me -- that UI is a hot mess if you're not an Apple fanatic.) Manjaro gives me a decent balance of a lot of things so far. I realize a lot of people don't like it and I've considered a closer to mainline Arch distro like EndeavorOS, but this ultimately has ticked all the right boxes for me.

@itsfoss been sticking with uBlue images for all my machines for a while. Rebasing temporarily to test out a different DE / setup is pretty awesome. Bazzite for my home theater/gaming PC, Bluefin for my old MacBook Air, and the cosmic+gnome image for my development machine. Enjoying the cosmic desktop and it's trajectory. Still needs a bit of smoothing but it has so much promise.

@slowbyrne A solid setup indeed. COSMIC has a lot of potential!

@itsfoss Gaming is really low on my priorities list. Ubuntu seems to run Steam OK... I don't like Snaps, but... meh.

@itsfoss NixOS gives me easy access to applying deep tweaks & patches to the setup, with continuous updates, everything managed in the same central file or however I decide to subdivide it.

@AngryAnt @itsfoss for gaming?

@ocl4s0s @itsfoss For gaming. And game development, incidentally.

The latter is my workstation. The former is a VM on a home server with a GPU passed through and Steam Remote play streaming to whatever potato device on our LAN (or on WAN if it makes sense for the title & device).

It plays Steam, Heroic, PS3, and PS2 titles for the household.

@itsfoss Now I'm using Lubuntu, but I like using any distribution which is easy to install. And I'm looking at you, Gentoo :blobcatcode:
