gaming on Linux?

| ive been wanting to switch from windows11 to linux for so long because they're eating my fucking ram but i mainly use it for gaming specifically emulators (nintendo switch games)
but i don't know how they'll preform. and i don't know which distro is best for gaming
i saw people talking about bazzite and pop os but they too use lots of ram compared to other distros
so should i go with mint or arch?


| i know that mint doesn't use a lot of resources even with desktop themes,but if i get that "hyperland" or whatever on arch is ut gonna consume a lot?


| Whats your RAM tho

| If you first dipping into linux I personally recommend trying mint or Kubuntu (KDE plasma desktop) they're good for starters, quite stable, and good enough for most gaming

Once you get more experience and knowledge though, I recommend CachyOS (arch based) it's probably one the best distros among linux distros


| just install both distors, and partition your home seperatly.

This way you get to try both and you don't loose your data if you mess something up.


(so you create a MintRoot, ArchRoot, Boot and Home partition)


| if your library is mostly/entirely steam, try bazzite.


| >>1094851 hyprland is extremely lightweight on it's own but I'm not sure if I'd reccomend it if you're looking for a traditional desktop experience (it's a tiling window manager so it prioritizes key-combos for most interactions with the workspace).
