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.

    since you already have experience with fedora, you might wanna look at nobara, which has an nvidia-specific installer available. i’m running it a bit longer than 7 months now, and don’t have any issues with it, and i have a pretty similar hardware config to you (a ryzen 5 instead of a 7, and a 3070 Ti instead of the normal one)

    I also run a windows 10 VM, mainly for stubborn installers from cracked games that won’t run correctly under wine and for my mouse/keyboard software (they have onboard profiles, so i pass them through to the vm to configure)

        thanks, i will test it next time i encounter issues. But at least the Kaos Repack installers have some other issue, the UI buttons of the installer don’t work as intended, they just don’t react at all after clicking the install button.
