Is PopOS the best for easy gaming? (self.linux_gaming)

Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won't run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don't mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

@hellerphant OpenSUSE Tumbleweed isn’t really the easiest distro out there, but definitely is the distro with better gaming performance (and performance in general). Some games run under proton on OpenSUSE TW better than they do natively on windows

@hellerphant Note that I wouldn’t really recommend it for people super new on Linux

Anyway, the OpenSUSE community on Reddit is really friendly and welcoming! You don’t see that on all distros. (Don’t think we have an OpenSUSE community on Kbin or Lemmy yet)
