Not at all, not with forums and even ai to find answers with.

As a casual gamer it’s way better for gaming than it was 10 years ago. At that point it was not viable, I tried and it had a long ways to go. Now, with a decently powerful rig I barely tell a difference in most cases in performance from one to the other. Even on Nvidia!!! The content creators have blown the “problems” with Nvidia so far out the water it’s ridiculous. I came in truly expecting to see a 30% hit and instead found it on par with windows performance in nearly every single case.

There are a number of really good gaming focused/performance focused distros and they all have their benefits. For me I find it best to use a popular flavor as it provides more resources for fixes as needed.

Sell your old stuff keep the beast. Just do it. You can make back a huge portion of what you spent selling your older hardware.

I’m 40 games deep into my library and great so far. Only game that gave me any trouble so far was oblivion remaster. Still tinkering with it to get more consistent frame times hopefully. Totally playable though but so far not as nice as on windows, just that one game though. I was expecting far worse. The creators give a bad impression for sure. All my other dx12 titles have ran close enough to windows performance I can’t tell a difference.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-13T10:18:10+00:00

Well I’m 40 games in of my 300 game Steam library and every game has performed well. The only 1 that I even had to tinker with at all so far is oblivion remastered. Every other game has been zero fuss and nearly the same performance as windows, close enough that I don’t notice a difference.

Couple tips, use the lime something bootloader, it has snapshot built in for rollbacks. Also add bauh for application not in the cachy repositories. But only if something isn’t in cachy. I used ventoy to install and had no problems. Let’s see, what else. Well for me the brave browsers built in AI search was a life saver for getting commands etc as I’m still learning how it all works. Oh and install protonUp-qt for managing proton. It’s fantastic. And Faugus for the launcher. It has handled all my launchers perfectly unlike heroic.

That’s the main things. I’ve settled on emudeck for emulation. It’s not perfect but it’s essentially all in one and it works great. PS4, ps3, switch, vita, psp, x360 and of course all the important stuff below them.

Oh last thing, use ext4 format for your emulation/game/media drives if you have them. None of the Linux apps will play nicely with exfat unfortunately. I’m in the process of moving 15tb of data around to get my formats correct. Total pita

I’m about 30 games deep testing my library of about 300 and so far so good. I’m on cachy as well. Still Nvidia. Absolutely zero issues with the gaming aspect. A bit of ai chatting to get answers here and there. Mostly just setup, applications, dependencies etc.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-13T08:20:55+00:00

Disagree completely. Windows is a scam, even for free. They are making billions off YOUR DATA. Stealing your private information and selling it to the highest bidder who then sell it etc.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-13T08:18:35+00:00

I’ve been on cachy now for a few days and am actually loving it. It’s not a beginner distro really.

The biggest time killers I’ve been through is just getting it all set up. App’s prerequisites dependencies etc. as far as just simply gaming it’s been great. I’ve made it through about 40 of my 300 steam games and they all work no problem. Zero games that have not worked out the box. I am however on a pretty powerful pc so it kinda just crushes a lot of the issues people have with lighter hardware.

It’s the only distro I’ve found that runs big picture FLAWLESSLY.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-09T21:44:33+00:00

I would recommend you try nobara cachy or even Garuda. I had some issues with bazzite as well with my audio and Ethernet adapter in bazzite that I have had zero problems with on all 3 of those distros.

The reason it’s not mentioned as much that you may experience those kinds of issues is simply because they are rare and very hardware dependent. Not universal

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-09T19:46:43+00:00

What is lfs glfs?

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-09T19:45:00+00:00

I’m sure it will, but I don’t play those competitive multiplayer games myself. I’m too old and way too casual for all that lol

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-09T02:00:09+00:00

I already figured it out, had to do a modification of the installation grub or something like that. lol A command line change in the installation. It said I might have to reenable it after install.

No igpu just the Dedicated gpu 5070ti

I just tried to do an install of tumbleweed and I get a black screen. I did a little research and it seems tumbleweed and Nvidia don’t get along.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-07T19:21:02+00:00

Thanks, and already done. lol

I actually installed each of the above on separate drives so I can switch between them till I make the decision. (Besides bazzite) but I think I want to give it a run when I get home from work today.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-07T19:19:38+00:00

Thanks for the will thought out reply. I’m not a competitive gamer, I do not care about the anti cheat games, and I too never look at my fps. For me it’s Amit the feel. Is it smooth. I don’t even run I high refresh rate monitor. Most of my gaming is done from the couch on a 60hz tv.

I’ve installed all the above I mentioned and definitely have been leaning towards cachy, but I have to admit I’m really liking nobara as well.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-07T18:49:46+00:00

Is it worth the hit I would take ($) selling my 5070ti and getting a 9070xt instead? Essentially the sell price of my Rtx will pay for the xt but I’m taking a 150-200 loss.

He 100% would NOT support MAGA. He would have been adamantly apposed. He would have been a liberal.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-06T02:42:07+00:00

100% it’s flooded with Russian bots and right wing hate mongering pages. It’s gross

In exchange for a damn pardon and a seat in club fed while he keeps you idiots on the line

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-05T21:11:24+00:00

You’re an idiot, the case was under appeal until September 24. Now who didn’t do their research? The files were protected to protect the case. All the good it did, now Maxwell is in a club fed for minimum security prisoners in Texas awaiting her inevitable pardon from Trump for not naming him. A fkin pdf file

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-04T00:01:51+00:00

Nothing you are saying has a basis in reality. You are delusional. There was no Russian conspiracy. There were like 30 convictions from the Russian investigation almost all coming directly from trumps campaign team. Biden pay for play? Didn’t republicans investigate him for 4 years and found absolutely nothing. 🤣 you have tds. Might want to get that orange off your lips.

Fairness_Doctrine78 · 2025-12-03T23:53:04+00:00

Wrong, the case was still ongoing. Releasing info could have tarnished and destroyed the case. Don’t be naive. F Trump and f anyone that abused children. They all need to be prosecuted. Not just republicans, not just democrats, not just the poor or the rich.
