[Question] to Linux from Windows as a daily driver

[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!

I use debian for gaming and light LLM workloads and it's been serving me quite well. Really like KDE.

GNUgit

Are you using Bookworm? I had trouble getting sddm on it to use system resolution. Normally I would ignore that but I only installed it on a VM so I could record an intro for my stream of Debian booting into the gaming.

I haven't updated my machine yet because I have no experience with wayland or pipewire and Nvidia with gaming. I was also interested if it's pretty decent with games and nvidia yet.
