DeaDveyToxic linux communities moment:
deegeeseIf I want to run games in Steam on NVidia GPU, with KDE and Wayland, what distribution would you recommend?
Windows XP
☂️-they ported kde wayland to xp? wow!
TashCheck out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.
I have Fedora KDE Plasma 40 on a laptop with a nVidia chipset, (I need to have it defaulted to Nouveau and the base Intel chipset). Maybe by the middle of next month they MIGHT have something cobbled together to get a decently working experience for the majority of users. Otherwise, don’t be surprised if your screen flickers, has missing parts of your display, or just a black and blank screen.
Wayland and nVidia - two piles of stupid that are meant for each other.
Garuda. Gaming/perf focus, with lots of built-in niceties (like btrfs snapshots on upgrade, proton GE, etc)
I just use Debian, KDE is an option during install and I use it. However, my brain lacks wrinkles so I’m sure it could be “better” on a more purpose built gaming distro. Over the decades of on and off Linux use, I always end up on Debian because it feels like solid ground to me
At this point with Wayland, none of them…
Technically not a distro, but give Bazzite a try. It’s probably the most handsfree gaming experience on Linux. Even Valve employees have made contributions to it.
