I wrote an article on my switch to the gaming focused Linux distro, coming from Windows 11 and thought you all might enjoy the journey.

Nobara seems fine for fedora, but if you want to try Arch, then Garuda is for gaming use, I personally use EndeavourOS.

Linux is a trip of making one change and bricking your system, easily rolled back.

What changes does Garuda make that aren't good for general use?

His aim was gaming use, which is why I recommended Garuda for it.

With EndeavourOS you have to tinker a bit more with the OS to get everything compatible with gaming.

Is there a reason why Endeavour would not prefer those changes? Or is it just a matter of focus, resources, security?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I believe EndeavourOS aims to be as close to pure arch as they can be, while still making it a more user friendly experience.

Garuda is what you'd call "bloat", but for gaming it's useful bloat.
