I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

Pretty much any distro will work for gaming these days. Really up to personal preference. I use Arch but have heard good things about Pop!_OS.

I was on pop for a while! It was cool.

Why does the pop shop suck though? Why?? Why is it so slow, why does it crash so much? Why is this such a problem with so many users? It wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back, it was more like an unnecessary brick the camel had to carry.
