I'm a total Linuxlet aside from some extremely limited tooling around in Ubuntu 4 or 5 years ago. I am curious about getting into it as a daily driver, but I have a few different use cases for my W10 machine that I'm not sure I can easily cover.

  • Gaming: I play a handful of new(er) titles, mostly indie, and more retro PC games. I know VR is a bit of a bust right now which isn't great.
  • Emulation: Pretty much all consoles that can be emulated.
  • Streaming: OBS
  • Development: Godot

Anyone know what kind of compatibility issues I'll run into or have any distro recommendations?

Run Bazzite. The desktop version. It’ll give you a plug and play experience for gaming, emulation, and streaming.

Unsure about development though. Maybe other users can chime in on Bazzite’s limitations for godot development, if any.

bazzite has a developer mode you can switch to, which will install and set-up a bunch of tools for you. There are also simple commands you can run from the terminal, they make it easy. Just open a terminal and read the prompt and follow the directions to launch a script and choose what tweaks you want.

Bluefin and Aurora are related to bazzite but are more stable, or have more stable versions available, and are developer focused. The biggest difference is that game software like steam isn't layered in, but installed via flatpak, which may cause issues with VR.

Depending on what you are doing you should be familiar with or want to learn how to use a containerized development environment.
