Linux gaming distro?
| I'd say Ubuntu mate or debian
| >>111687
Seconding this, most games that support linux are designed with only ubuntu/debian in mind, so you might have trouble with anything else.
| There's also SteamOS and Ubuntu GamePack to consider.
| Winlux7
| ReactOS
##Admin:prefetcher##
| Gentoo Linux
| SteamOS
| >>112371 not Linux.
>>112372 has to be slightly insane.
>>111687 >>111716 actually holds some truth.
| Ubuntu/Debian have the best gaming support of all the linux distros.
That said I use Solus and can play my games fine.
| also, mint/ubuntu/debian is probably the way to go

Serious answer: take a look at solus
The guy leading the whole project (Ikey Doherty) , is the one who created Linux Steam Integration. He is also working on better driver detection,etc
The distro itself is similar to arch, but curated, so expect up to date software, drivers and kernels without stuff exploding, and it includes some neat optimisations from Clear Linux (he was one of the Intel Linux engineers in there)
| If video games are your main concern one of the *buntus would be your best bet
| Witcher. Starcraft. Red Shift. Mechwarrior. Homeworld.
None of these have a linux release. So I'll still keep on dualbooting to windows7 for gaming for a while more.
| >>114172 You could setup VFIO, if you wanted to stop dual-booting. I haven't tried it, but I heard that it's getting a lot easier.

The latest pci passthrough mechanism. Hmmm. I have to find the time to try this. And then have the onboard gpu for the base system and the pcie gpu for the win7 vm.
Thanks for the pointer Anon.

| Howdy, I'm looking for a good Linux distribution for my gaming pc that has the ability to be a good home computer and gaming computer. I have already tried Ubuntu and Mint and I would like to see what others would recommend and what others may even use.
