Experience: I have a bit of experience with Linux. I started around 2008, distro-hopped weekly, decided on Debian until around 2011, when I switched to Windows as I started getting interested in gaming. Tried switching back around 2015, this time using Arch Linux for about a month, but had some bad experiences with gaming and...

So I've been a little wary of installing Linux on my desktop since I have a 1660 ti as a graphics card and read that there are some problems with drivers and such. Are my fears unfounded/outdated? Anyone experienced any problems and what Linux distro should I look to use for gaming?

I wound up with one of those newfangled playstation controllers, and I’m surprised at how good it is. It paired nicely on Endeavour KDE, and there’s a big touchpad in the center that works to control the mouse pointer out of the box. I’m quite happy with it!

Years ago I tried modding Fallout New Vegas and I think 4 on Fedora ages (I was running Fedora 28 at the time) ago using Mod Organizer 2 and it wouldn’t work for reasons I didn’t understand, possibly file system related.

I got Star Wars Episode I Racer from GOG on a sale for dirt cheap back around May 4th. I’ve been trying to get it working via Heroic ever since, particularly the multiplayer, which is fixed via mods. The Lutris script definitely does all of this super easy, but not only would I like to have it working via Heroic for the...
