Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.
Now don’t get me wrong, they’re great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.
As always the correct answer is … “it depends “
Ubuntu and mint are fine for new users…
If you hand a new driver a car, you’d want them to have a more simple reliable car. Key in , start, drive turn brakes… etc.
But if you want to: tune the fuel air mix; lower the rear tire pressure for grip; or adjust gear ratios… then you can give them Arch or Gentoo
Similarly to windows or mac; Ubuntu and mint mostly just work, and kinda just do what it says on the tin.
