I've been using Pop-Os for about 2 years now. It's Ubuntu based and great for gaming.
I find having something based on Ubuntu is really great for anything I would need a tutorial or any kind of support for.
Really excited to see what the Cosmic DE looks like when it goes into live or later betas.
Ubuntu was my first foray into Linux via Ubuntu server in school. I didn't care for it and several years later realized it was because I just don't like Gnome.
I will never not use the aur, CACHYOS was my first distroand, tried others, I'm good. Missing nothing with flatpaks + aur + debtap, i like max options, install all except snaps, no appeal
Wouldn't you want something more bleeding edge like Arch? Or at least Fedora, or something like openSUSE Tumbleweed?
(I understand it wouldn't work for the meme, so let's say Fedora.)
Thing is, I think we're already past that weird transitional period where there exists a good solution for X common problem in linux gaming, but is only shipped in some nieche gaming-oriented distro, instead of any general purpose distros. Most desktop linux distros are already "bloated" (in a sensible way) so it's not like they would lack whatever components we need for gaming. Sure there can be nice extras, but that's mostly only useful for the miniscule cross-section of people who consider themselves powerusers but are afraid of installing programs from the package manager.
If you're a programmer: NixOS.
Define your OS config, which programs to install, and dotfiles in one repo. Install a fresh OS, pull in the repo (nix-shell -p git, because NixOS doesn't come with git >_> ) and run the command to install the whole thing (sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#wodan for me. wodan is just the name of a config - I have multiple all combines into one repo, so I can share configuration between machines).
Took me 17 minutes to set up my laptop exactly the same as my Desktop. Same configuration, applications, and OS settings. It's so fucking nice.
With Windows, that used to take 2 days to download and install everything manually.
Only downside: You'll need to learn Nix-the-language, nix-the-os, and nix-the-terminal-program, which took about a month of deeply digging into the Vimjoyer and LibrePhoenix channels.
Just checked my Mint. Why Cinnamon uses so much VRAM? I have over 1GB idle, without anything running. In my Windows i usually have 400Mb with all things closed.
I remember this site
https://www.linuxatemyram.com/
But honestly, although I can't check it, 1GB idle is still far more ram than what I get idle, so you might have some weird program auto-starting and actually eating your ram.
RAM is ok, i have plenty of it. VRAM (Video RAM) is the problem. The RAM of the GPU, used for showing graphics, UI etc.

Non-corporate users use Ubuntu? Last time I tried it, I have encountered bugs on day one, and I nearly instantly switched to random distro with KDE (openSUSE, which also I dislike btw).
Also I have very 'fond' memories of using it in about 2011-2013 where the program crashing message is burnt into my mind, because how often it appeared, and sometimes even the error reporting tool was crashing for some reason.
Can confirm. I use Vanilla Ubuntu.
I... I just heard of cachy OS yesterday for the first time and i like it...
I used pop!_OS before btw. and i hated it.
