I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed here, both on my desktop and Steam Deck. i like the stable rolling release model. Allows me to get shiny new things that have at least gone through automated tests.

And in case anything goes wrong it comes with snapper configured by default for easy rollbacks.

Yes! Tumbleweed squad.....rise up.

This got me started with Linux. Such a great first distro.

It ended up being my second distro because Kubuntu completely crapped out after an update. Tumbleweed is excellent!
