Well I tried redhat ubuntu gentoo fedora knoppix mint arch MEPIS and even fucking slackware because apparently i am a masochist

And you will say 'Oh but those are old distros, now they're much betterer!'

Nope the weeks of frustration aren't worth revisiting. You really don't understand how much PTSD I got from the linux forums

Get a techie to set gaming distros for you. My brother installed Bazzite for me and troubleshoots. Speaking of which, Bazzite is meant to be for average users who are less literate on computers. I have rarely had issues on Bazzite unlike with other distros. Indeed, newer distros are better.

I understand. Linux can be daunting for us average Joes. Plenty of information i see on the internet are either outdated, or simply doesn't work.
