Finally the year of linux
I’m seriously considering switching, but every thread about how ‘easy’ it is always devolves into a bunch of arcane computer-speak that I’m really not interested in learning at this point. I really just use my PC for web browsing and simracing/gaming these days, and I don’t want to need a computer science degree to do that.
Ah, get a mainstream distro like Mint or Fedora, throw Steam on it and start gaming.
Honestly? Get a second device when installin/using linux, you’ll need it for browsing when you get stuck. Otherwise its alot of clicking until your brain does as well.
Linux will win in the end!
Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.
People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can’t be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.
Debian is great but it’s not really ideal for gaming. Way out of date mesa and kernel packages.
True enough — but for those few who enjoy such things I must point out that debian makes kernel builds very easy to do. When mesa gets too old there will usually be a backport.
Arch best for gaming?
