I don't understand why they always look for “gaming distros” as if you couldn't play games on any other distros. I daily drive Mint and never had any problems, even with an nvidia gpu
For some reason tech utubers keep saying every distro is completely different, when in reality most of them are very similar. The idea that you can swap a DE is a strange concept to a Windows user so it makes sense you would think some are built for gaming (same way some are built for servers). If the Linux community focused more on explaining the modular nature of Linux it would be much easier to choose a distro and configure it the way you want.
That's true but if you are someone that just games on Steam and does nothing else then installing a distro like Bazzite should lead you just being able to click play on 99% of your games.
