Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

      Sure, but they don’t just go installing arch from an arch ISO, they carefully curate an environment with a team of experts to make sure it doesn’t break.

      That’s not the experience you’re gonna have gaming on Arch on your gaming desktop.

        Eh, i recently did a fresh arch install on my desktop (had manjaro before) and I haven’t run into any bigger issues (at least related to gaming). Diablo 4 for example worked basically out of the box with bottles

          Maybe I’m biased because my only experience with arch in the past five years was install, boot, update packages, reboot, fail to boot, laugh, install Debian.
