Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any other distros I should be looking at, and does somebody have a link for a comprehensive guide to installing? I’m looking to continue running windows on the side until such a time as I am comfortable enough with linux that I don’t need it.
Is Fedora “bad” for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don’t game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora
It’s not bad but there are simply better distros if you want a seamless gaming experience. Nvidia drivers are a big reason in my case. Pop works with Nvidia right out of the box (assuming you download the Nvidia iso) and Nobara has some great gaming tweaks so no, Fedora is not bad for gaming. It’s simply not the best if you’re really serious about gaming.
@jameskirk @tkk13909 I like nobara but it’s slightly harder to install than pop
One of the best gaming distros (Nobara) is fedora based.
