Linux distribution for gaming and media centre. - Lemmy.World
Heya! I’m looking to install Linux for the first time on parts from my old pc
builds to use as a media centre and multiplayer gaming system in my living room.
Something with as clean as possible interface with room for customization would
be cool. Oh and support for my old nvidia gpu. I’m also looking for general tips
and advice for beginners if anyone has some to share.
I’d say Pop_OS! which has a spin (version) with Nvidia drivers already installed. Below is a direct link. It’s based on Debian, so it enjoys excellent app support. Linux Mint is also a good choice.
iso.pop-os.org/…/pop-os_22.04_amd64_nvidia_35.iso
have not yet tried pop os, but +1 for mint!
I have installed PopOS and so far it’s been very stable. Most of the games I play are on Steam and support has been pretty awesome (BG3, CP2077, Valheim, Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor). For non-Steam games, WINE with the Wine Glass GUI has been great, allowing me to run older windows games without a problem.
