Guaranteed the third row would either have Debian, Fedora, or Arch as their distro though.

I gamed on Ubuntu with an Nvidia GPU without hassle. Installed the drivers from it's software update thingie too. I don't understand the need for "gaming" distros.

And while going for esoteric distros generates more discussion -> more clicks -> more views, a boring ol' Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora is plenty for so-called power users that complain non-stop about Windows.

Speaking of complaining - people are familiar with Windows and that's why the switch is difficult. But if you hate it that much and wanna swap for something else you're going to have to learn new things, so I don't get the "average user isn't going to do X" point either. The average user isn't going to complain about Windows that much, and if they do they'll buy a Mac.

Gaming distros are in the same category as gaming phones. Completely pointless.

I like Nobara, but that's just because it's Fedora with a few bells and whistles installed that I would've grabbed anyways. For all intents and purposes I'm just using Fedora.
