I currently run windows 10 on my main desktop PC, and also have a steam deck that I sometimes use in desktop mode instead of my desktop. With the way Windows is going, and the way Linux Gaming is dramatically improving, I might consider ditching Windows, at least for the most part, on my next PC build. What would be the best distro to use for gaming, with casual use as well? Any suggestions?
I think if you’re coming from Windows, the closest thing to a Windows experience imo is Ubuntu. You can opt in to pre-release updates which is good for gaming as others have said. Also, basically everything can be done via GUI in Ubuntu while you learn to get comfortable with the terminal.
