Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won’t run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don’t mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

    To be fair. I’ve never used Arch and thought I’d give it a try, their new “archinstall” utility makes installation a breeze. This includes driver and DE selection.

    Was able to complete a KDE Plasma install in about 15 minutes.

      archinstall is good yeah, it would be nice if it had a proper graphical install rather than the console ui. I think less technical people would be put off by it.
