From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi! I'm getting a new laptop any day now and I plan on going back to Linux after maybe a decade on Windows. What works best for gaming nowadays? Is manjaro good for that? I prefer a distro with a nice name but of course that's not the central thing. I'll also do some book keeping, writing et cetera but I don't think it's much to worry about. I also hope to use my Valve Index on it.

Ublue Bazzite.

Bazzite is fundamentally different as it is based on Fedora Atomic Desktops. This is huge.

The OS is worlds more stable and reliable.

They use Fedoras base and add all the gaming stuff to it, to work out of the box.

I use Aurora, coming from Fedora Kinoite (KDE Atomic) and then uBlue Kinoite.
