So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don’t wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don’t rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

    I didn’t disagree with their clarification of what they meant.

    Isn’t the clarification of what they meant, also the exact same thing as what they originally said? They clarified what they meant by what they said, not by the context that you think they didn’t provide in the original text, so in my eyes they did say the same thing as what they clarified to you. You just didn’t seem to understand the original text, when in it, they specifically said they wanted to know what Linux distro would work best based on specs for gaming… Which brings us back to your original reply to OP. Why did you say “If you have to ask someone else whether you should switch then you should not switch.”? Because the only reason I can find, is if you misunderstood and thought they were asking if they should switch to Linux in a general sense, rather then specifically based on their specs for gaming. Many people downvoted your comment including myself (because I felt you were misunderstanding OP’s question), and I think most other downvoters did so for the same reason… so it would be good to know if we just misunderstood your point. But it doesn’t seem so when OP had to clarify to you what they meant and everyone else commenting already seemed to get it.

    /s to make a point

    I don’t get what you mean. I know what /s means but I’m very confused what you’re trying to say. That “I disagree” what sarcastic?

      No.

      I don’t understand that sentence.

      Why did you say “If you have to ask someone else whether you should switch then you should not switch.”? Because the only reason I can find, is if you misunderstood and thought they were asking if they should switch to Linux in a general sense, rather then specifically based on their specs for gaming.

      Such a question hints at a lack of curiosity and wherewithal, engendering an expectation that it would be problematic for the asker to switch, both in general and based on hardware specs.

      I know what /s means but I’m very confused what you’re trying to say.

      I was indicating that I was being sarcastic in order to make a point.
