Ok #gaming #linux folks. If you were building a Linux gaming PC (mainly steam) what distro would you install?

ChimeraOS, Nobara, something else?

@codemonkeymike SteamOS is built on Debian so personally I'd go with Debian, though you'd probably have great results with pretty much any downstream Debian distro like Ubuntu - or Pop like @techaddressed mentioned, System76 made some nice UI tweaks in Pop.

Edit: ^^^^ Based on outdated information, see Robert's response.

@zazzoo @codemonkeymike Steam OS is built on Arch actually but I've never had an Arch based system that didn't eventually become a nightmare.
@techaddressed @codemonkeymike You're right, apologies for misinformation! They switched distros after I first played with it.
@zazzoo @codemonkeymike honest mistake.
@techaddressed @codemonkeymike I'd still personally go with Debian. You're right about Arch.

@zazzoo @techaddressed yeah it's interesting they chose arch. But they made it immutable and control the packages. So it's not really arch anymore lol.

But yeah. Stable base, hard to beat Debian or pop etc

@codemonkeymike @techaddressed Back when I was playing with it, it wasn't so much stability of the base OS as much as the availability of an apt PPA that gave me automatic updates and kept all the system dependencies in order.
