Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won’t run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don’t mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

    If you want something that just works, PopOS is a great option yes. If you feel more adventurous you can go on something more bleeding edge (they are called like this for a reason) like EndeavourOS which is arch derivative.

    If you are running W11 with Secure Boot enabled, then I would recommend you to go with Fedora as I don’t think either PopOS or EndeavourOS supports it.
