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.

    They’re asking based on their specs whether Linux will run fine for them.

    The post does not ask that.

      Fine, I’ll add to my sentence for clarification, but (no offense) it should be obvious I’m referring to gaming since the whole topic is about… gaming on Linux.

      They’re asking based on their specs whether Linux will run fine for them, with Gaming.

      The title was “Thinking of switching my gaming desktop to Linux. Should I?” In the post, they said:

      My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs).

      So therefore they’re asking whether they should switch to Linux (for gaming) based on their specs. OP even told you that’s what they were saying, but you said “I disagree”…

      You can’t with any sound reasoning disagree that OP asked something, when not only is there the OG post as proof, but they also told you (in implication) that you misunderstood. OP knows what they meant by what they said - you can’t tell them they don’t know what they meant, when they’re literally the person who said it. I get it that you’re having a hard time understanding how what they said, means what they said it does, but you’re allowed to accept that you misunderstood. You’re allowed to be wrong.
