Hi. I’ve been using Linux for decades on my work machines, but most of my knowledge is pretty rusty. However for gaming I’ve always used a Windows machine. I’m thinking of getting rid of microsoft entirely, since I’ve been hearing such good things about steam & proton lately.

I was going to just install Mint on my gaming computer, but since there are a ton of experts here, I figured I should check in to see if there is any reason not to use Mint for this? And if there is any other considerations or setup I should be aware of to keep my games running well?

    Mint works fine for gaming. For a gaming focused machine I’d consider Bazzite, though, which has been getting a lot of hype lately.

      Garuda is also very user friendly and gaming focused if you want something that isn’t immutable.
