Hey guys,

after a few months back on Windows 11 (mostly because of my CPU) i want to migrate again to Linux. With my old setup i used Linux Mint, but i know that some packages are really old and i needed to tinker a lot of things. I liked it a lot but im just thinking about to try out OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Because of a lot of things - KDE, Wayland etc. Do you have any experience with Tumbleweed and Gaming and is there maybe a recent recommendation how-to to set this up? What would be also great is Secure Boot - i read a few things that it is possible with OpenSuse Tumbleweed but do you guys have experience with it? I'm also open for other OS recommandations :) My CPU is a R9 7950X3D and my GPU is a Radeon RX 6950 XT And i have a AIO with a LCD Display (NZXT Kraken 280 RGB).

Thank you for your help :)

I like OpenSuse TW. It's up to date, and I've not had many issues with gaming. I did have an issue with a dodgy texture in No Man's Sky, but it runs stuff like Valheim (Steam), Project Zomboid (Steam), Minecraft, Rimworld (Lutris) good for me. I don't really do any AAA, so cannot really comment on those.
