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 usually recommend linux mint for it’s windows like aesthetic

    Got a NVIDIA 3080

    popOS has an ISO that comes with nvidia drivers but linux mint has a driver manager

    my […] streaming setup

    OBS works on GNU/Linux

    popOS has a lot of features/bloat and looks fairly different from windows. If you chose PopOS update your system before installing anything so the package manager doesn’t uninstall your desktop environment

      Thanks for the tips. I liked PopOS’ vibe, but I might check out Mint seeing it is recommended a bit.
