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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
