Best distro for me? (beehaw.org)

I've played with Linux before and finally had enough with Windows. I'm a seasoned programmer but mainly concerned with gaming for this computer, except that I want to be able to run Unreal Engine 5 and potentially other big tools like that. TIA 💓

Bazzite and CachyOS are most often recommended gaming distros. ~~Both are immutable~~ Bazzite is immutable. Bazzite is based on Fedora and CachyOS is based on Arch.

Unreal Engine for Linux is a thing so that shouldn’t be a problem.

I think both Bazzite and CachyOS are solid recommendations, but only Bazzite is immutable out of those two.

Thanks for pointing that. For some reason, I thought CachyOS is immutable.
