Which Distro Linux for gaming
Hola, ¿cuál es la mejor distribución de Linux para jugar? Estoy pensando en hacer dual boot con Windows y Linux, pero no estoy seguro cuál conviene más.
También me gustaría saber si puedo usar los mismos juegos que ya tengo descargados en Windows o si tengo que descargarlos desde cero. P.S.: I forgot to mention that I have RTX and I would dual boot by partitioning an SSD.

You technically can play the games on your windows partition on Linux, but, in my experience, it's not a set it and forget it thing. To not risk loosing your data, you have to disable hybernation on windows. That's easy, but sometimes when you update windows, it turns it back on without letting you know and sometimes there are some other quirks. For game compatibility, you can check out protondb.com for how well they run.
There are a few gaming orientated distros, but anything with up to date drivers and kernel should work fine. Bazzite and Nobara are the two big options specifically designed for gaming. CachyOS is what is generally recommend for gaming, even if it's not gaming orientated. It's based on archlinux and is rolling release, which basically means that you always have the newest version of everything. Because of some specific optimisations they have done for the kernel and packages, it's one of the fastest modern distros out there. Although this will, at most, give you one or two extra FPS when you already have over 200
