I’ve used Arch, Pop_OS for gaming in the past, was looking for a distro that just works and doesn’t have any extra fluff or do anything nonstandard. (For example I don’t like that some programs will only update through the pop shop on pop os and not through the terminal.)

I'm running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It's nice to have a distro that actually updates it's Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.

Mint works well for me

Literally any of them.

All you do is install your drivers if using Nvidia, then just install your games, whether native packages, flatpak, Steam, Lutris, or whatever.

I just run Debian 12 and everything through Lutris or native. Used to run Steam through Flatpak which also worked perfectly, but don't play any games on Steam anymore.

Right now most likely Steam OS (which is an Arch derivate). But it's quite specific to the SteamDeck.

SteamOS is a Debian derivative, and has existed long before the steam Deck was a thing.

Nvm looks like they switched to Arch for v3.

Nobara or maybe just debian ?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
