I use Windows for my desktop PC but I'm also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I'm not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I'm interested in how people are gaming on Linux

Yeah my two finalists were Arch and Fedora. Ended up going with Arch to be on a rolling release and have maximum access to updated software/libraries.

Fedora used to be my go to years ago but I installed arch because people said it was hard and would teach you more about how Linux works which I wanted. Wasn't until after I spent the time installing it I learned about what rolling release really meant but it's great for gaming PCs lol
