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.

    I generally like Mint and I don’t really wanna switch distro unless it would give me any significant benefits. Like what’s the deal with PopOS? What does it have over other distros that makes it a good gaming distro?

    I can easily install proprietary drivers on most distros these days. Steam is available in the repos of any debian/ubuntu distro that i can think of. There’s gotta be something that I’m missing?
