Distro suggestions, anyone? (lemmy.world)

I'm planning to rebuild my gaming PC (Specs so far: Ryzen 5 7600, B650 chipset, RTX 3060, Dan Case A4).

Yet, I'm not sure which OS it will be. Important features will most probably be:

  • low latency kernel
  • decent hardware support (GPU driver should support the kernel without the need of compiling everything manually)
  • modern looks, rather than a 2003-style xfce configuration
  • still having the freedom to modify and install anything I want

Nobara! It is awesome for gaming and performsnce intensive tasks and beside being an obscure distro is maintained by reputable people (glorious eggroll, proton GE creayor)

Thanks, and this will it be!

The kernel is heavily optimized for gaming and it has the latest AMD patches applied. Most gaming-related stuff comes pre-installed.
