I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

X11 or Wayland? I find games like csgo stutter on Wayland.

Wayland. I've had no issues, but then I don't play CS:GO. However I've played Cyberpunk on ultra with no issues, for example.

Make sure you're running the sdl environment variable that makes them native on Wayland, in my experience when that's on it makes my games that are native significantly more performant.

I used Manjaro with Wayland last year and had no issues at all playing games.
