[Question] to Linux from Windows as a daily driver - Lemmy

My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it. My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff. I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs? Thanks!

If steam is primary for gaming, it has an option to run all your games on Linux via proton, so look into that. For blizzard games, Lutris works well. I’ve had the least hassle with getting it work on Fedora and (surprisingly) Arch Linux.

However, if using Lutris, things tend to be a lot easier with an AMD card than an nVidia card.

On my arch pc, I have yet to run into any issues with pc gaming or anything else. But I’d recommend using fedora kde for simplicity sake.
