!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam? (lemmy.world)

I am switching to Linux for the first time.

I heard Mint is really good but am not sure exactly which distro is best to use with Steam, as well as with newer games, as I primarily use my computer for gaming.

I generally play games like Final Fantasy XIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls Online, and Total War: Warhammer 3.

Technically speaking it is not a distribution.

"Bazzite is a custom image of Fedora Atomic Linux 40, utilizing Universal Blue’s custom image framework designed to bring users the best in Linux gaming for their PCs, including the Steam Deck and other handhelds."

Bazzite 3.0 Installer is here!

I'm too busy playing games and having no issues, to write why it's amazing.

I am at 237 days with no issues, and that issue was Valves anyway.

Newsletter:

I used to write personal GitHub gists in the 6 years I've been using Linux/Fedora. To share with others to tweak their Fedora installs for gaming. Don't have to do that anymore!

Bazzite has been wonderful. I went in skeptical about immutable distris for gaming but Bazzite has been such a great experience.
