Why Mint and Ubuntu? (lemmy.world)

Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.

Now don't get me wrong, they're great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.

What are the better recommendations in your opinion?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pop or Fedora unless there's a reason not to.

Pop is basically Ubuntu minus snap, plus flatpak, plus their PPA, no?

Heavily customized desktop, one day to be fully custom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Yes. With a custom gnome shell fork.

Their summer release will have the new desktop environment they have been working on (Cosmic) which will be a big point of differentiation
