I have heard good things about nobara. I don’t mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don’t want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn’t get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up…Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

    I’m using Linux Mint with an Nvdia card and it works great. But I don’t have a completely new PC so I don’t need the latest of the latest stuff. Taking your hardware into account is always a good idea.

    My advice: don’t switch too fast, maybe keep dual boot at first and give yourself time to learn. Try distros with a live USB stick on your system to see if it works. For the look and feel consult https://distrosea.com/ and play around. Linux can be fun and it’s serving gamers very well now (for the most part - there are games that won’t run mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’).
