Hey!
Windows 11 gamer here, I basically only use my new PC desktop for gaming. Using Nvidia. Right now playing mostly GW2 and CK2.
I just started fiddling around with Linux a few weeks ago. I tried Linux Mint but had problems with CK2 recognizing my Nvidia card despite installing the driver. So I moved over to Ubuntu. CK2 is now working perfectly, but GW2 is stuttering whenever I move my mouse, making it not playable. I’m running it as a non Steam game on Steam.
Which distro would you recommend for me? I’m thinking about Bazzite (but maybe it’s mostly for handheld games?) or Pop_OS? Fedora? Or can I maybe fix GW2 on Ubuntu somehow?
All the different distros is making this a bit overwhelming 😅
For simplicity and ease of use (also shipped with NV drivers) Bazzite.
It's not as ease of use if you want to fiddle with stuff but as a turnkey solution it's the best out there IMHO, it's geared to non savvy users, it comes with everything pre-packaged OOTB (or gives you the option to run an install script for it) and it just works for the most part. Highly recommend going with KDE and Plasma.
That's not to the detriment of other distros (don't torch my house Arch fans), just that, bazzite really invested into the UX and it shows.
