I switched to macOS pretty for all my day-to-day, development and work uses, but still have a Ryzem+RTX (I do use Ray tracing features) desktop that I only ever use for gaming anymore.

I play games from Steam, GoG, Epic, and occasionally Xbox Game Pass.

The big problem here is I’m visually impaired and need a desktop environment that will let me consistently use a lime green mouse cursor and zoom in full screen via keyboard and scroll shortcuts.

At the risk of 1) nobody having actual experience and 2) the current Linux distro/DE ecosystem being hopelessly broken, what should I try?

I also only have some 2 hours a week for videogames. I can’t afford the time to tinker, after the transition and setup period.

I’m perfectly happy with “you’re outta luck, buddy, just suffer through Windows,” but I figure it can’t hurt to ask…

    Steam Play just enables you to launch Windows games on Linux with Proton.

    I don’t know anything about accessibility but I will say you can run any distro with any Desktop Environment (GNOME, KDE, Plasma, etc).

    Bazzite is really hot right now, both for general use and also gaming.

    It’s a Fedora-based distro that benefits from their Atomic updates. None of this you need to know or understand.
