i know that some games arent compitable and been to the site that shows which game is and which is not, and i also know most mods dont work on linux version which is a boomer (skyrim and rimworld mostly)?
so for gamers, why did you change to linux being a mostly a gamer?
have you tryed more distros other then bazzites? what would you recommend?
I tried my first linux distro: Mandriva
Every year I chose a distro and spent a month with it. Mandrake was a an eye opener. Then Ubuntu was the easiest, but it was not ready for me yet.
Linux is now ready for work & gaming, so I switched and tried these major distros and their downstream forks:
Debian
Arch
Fedora
I recommend Bazzite for gamers and Aurora, for everyone else. They are as if not easier to use than a smartphone.
I use Aurora on my work laptop, and Bazzite on my gaming desktop. Both have been great with no issues.
damn interesting, i see on steamchart that
july 2025, arch linux is most popular, what would you recommend?
Every distro I listed is awesome in it’s own ways. Arch is great, but you will break it.
Arch is for people that want to learn Linux enough to fix it and/or tailor it down to the last package, if you want something that just works no matter what, it’s not for you.
However, if you have a second PC and your activities are not critically important and you have lots of free time, it’s great to learn how Linux works.
Having 2 drives also works fine. Just don’t dual boot on the same drive, as that will eventually result in being unable to boot.
