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.

    Keep in mind that Nobara uses Wayland by default and you will have some issues with streaming. Nothing you can’t configure and work around, it’s just Wayland has some privacy “features” that prevents apps from listening to each other unless you give them explicit permission.

      Yeah, that’s why I mentioned switching over to X11. Wayland is so close, but just a little too buggy still for me. I am planning on switching to Wayland 100% at the end of this year.

      By then it should be where I’m comfortable with.

        I stuck with Wayland because literally streaming is the only thing that’s screwy for me, it still largely works. I have 4 monitors and x11 don’t like that so much…
