Linus never shuts the hell up about Linux so I wanna install it on my 14900k and 4090 system just to make a video for twitter so I can prove how good or shit it is and tag Linus in the post so once and for all we can have the answer if gaming on Linux is even worth it
Best Linux for gaming is Never use Nvidia
I don’t know if it’s the best, but Valve’s Steam Deck comes with an Arch variant for a good reason… I haven’t tried anything else recently.
It doesn’t work like that. An OS is like a Vehicle frame. It can look very sporty and behave very stable and safe in motion. But the engine (hardware) and the fuel (drivers) are the key factors for the performance. If those are mediocre, don’t expect to win a race.
Your GPU is great, but unfortunately nvidia doesn’t put much effort into their linux driver. And their proprietary driver is the only viable option at the moment. Their support website confirms the constant issue reports linux users have with nvidia drivers. So expect issues in games and performance loss in comparison to nvidia’s windows driver.
Garuda.
Not as an absolute first start with linux
LFS
Yeah, totally.
While I disliked his video as he did some stupid things, I think his points were very clear and made sense that people may end up doing the same thing or something worse.
Maybe they added drama for the sake of it I dunno but Linux still needs a lot of work.Also I don’t recommend doing this.
they all work the same basically. it’s just whether you want the newest stuff or something more stable. Pick whatever you think looks the best
this has also been asked hundreds of times before, so search in this subreddit
" basically " but clearly there’s a difference as you use this word so it does matter which is chosen
yeah, I did say the difference. Depends if you want a more up to date or stable system. that’s the only real difference
Just grab something easy like Pop OS and have a good time!
You are legit the first person to give me a straight answer, thanks for not being a troll
Choose a distro you understand and that you can troubleshoot. Because whenever you want to play: that’s the moment something decides not to work.
Literally everyone from then to now couldve been the definitive mouth piece of jf its good or bad. You are not the mouth piece, and no one will be. Its like trying to declare if a certain type of cookie is bad or not. Clearly that version of cookie was made, so it fills somebodys need. Move on.
are you drunk mate? There is legit version of Linux that are better for gaming like if you got a lite version of facebook you can’t view certain stuff but on the other version you can, different version of things are made for different users so yes there is versions of Linux that are good and bad for gaming
It took me way too long to realize this was about Linus tech tips and not Linus Torvalds
Of course Linus never shuts up about Linux, he created it 😂

I was able to get going with kubuntu pretty easy.
Kubuntu. Pop os or nobara seem to be the popular ones for new people. Not that they’re particularly special. They just have a lot of things pre installed. Which saves some hassle.
With all that said. BACK UP YOUR WINDOWS INSTALL.
I tried cachy os and im using it for 1 year :)
