I am switching to Linux for the first time.

I heard Mint is really good but am not sure exactly which distro is best to use with Steam, as well as with newer games, as I primarily use my computer for gaming.

I generally play games like Final Fantasy XIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls Online, and Total War: Warhammer 3.

Technically speaking it is not a distribution.

"Bazzite is a custom image of Fedora Atomic Linux 40, utilizing Universal Blue’s custom image framework designed to bring users the best in Linux gaming for their PCs, including the Steam Deck and other handhelds."

Bazzite 3.0 Installer is here!

I'm too busy playing games and having no issues, to write why it's amazing.

I am at 237 days with no issues, and that issue was Valves anyway.

Newsletter:

I used to write personal GitHub gists in the 6 years I've been using Linux/Fedora. To share with others to tweak their Fedora installs for gaming. Don't have to do that anymore!

Bazzite has been wonderful. I went in skeptical about immutable distris for gaming but Bazzite has been such a great experience.
