What flavor or distro do you use?

I used to use Fedora back in 2010 and 2011 on a old Dell laptop.

I might be switching to Linux when Support for Windows 10 runs out in 2025. I refuse to put W11 on my PC, but I need to test is Linux with Steams Proton is the right solution before I commit.

I would not have gaming as major criteria for choosing a distro. All modern distros should be fine for gaming. Learn how Linux configures things for either X11 or Wayland and you will be fine.
