From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A similar question was raised some day's ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I'm searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game's and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that's important...

Looking for the ultimate gaming laptop that's also Linux-friendly? Consider this tailored advice for enthusiasts seeking top-notch gaming performance on a Linux platform. When exploring options, keep an eye out for configurations that boast excellent compatibility with Linux distributions like Manjaro Gnome.

For a seamless gaming experience, ponder over an all-AMD setup - a Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7) coupled with a Radeon RX GPU offers a harmonious blend of performance and compatibility for gaming on Linux. Alternatively, an Intel CPU paired with an AMD GPU could also serve well for gaming enthusiasts.

For those diving into FPS games, prioritize a robust GPU. Models housing Nvidia's GTX or RTX series or AMD's Radeon RX series promise smoother gameplay.

When scouting the best gaming laptops, prioritize models with reliable driver support and compatibility with Linux gaming. Brands such as ASUS, Lenovo Legion, and select MSI models often cater well to Linux users.

In summary, a strong GPU-CPU combination alongside Linux compatibility is key for an immersive gaming experience. Cheers to finding the perfect gaming companion that suits your Linux adventure! Here is guide to chose a best gaming laptop under 500$
