Jag har ett Nvidia och spelar på Ubuntu och det funkar grymt för mig iallafall.

Jag körde Windows till 2009. Sedan körde jag olika Linuxdistar i fem år typ. Sedan Windows 10 år, bland annat för spelmöjligheterna. Förra året bytte jag tillbaka till Linux (Ubuntu) och det har verkligen gått toppen. Steam bara löser spelandet. Helt otroligt. Vissa spel går bättre på Ubuntu än på Windows för att datorn verkar kunna hantera högre hårdvarukrav.

I never got around to writing it, but I'll share a couple of things shortly.

  1. I tried two gaming profiled systems: bazzite and manjaro. The systems in themselves worked great and the gaming was good. But I had some other systems I needed for work that I just couldn't get to run smoothly. I think the biggest problem was Dropbox. One of the systems used a file management protocol or whatever it's called that Dropbox didn't work with at all. I ended up installing Ubuntu and it worked pretty well out of the box there. And the gaming is actually working great.

  2. when I installed Ubuntu, I also installed some kind of community built steam app. Extremely buggy. I replaced it with the official steam app and now it's extremely smooth. Very little difference to gaming on windows except of course that everything in the system and ui is a little bit quicker, including the games.

  3. more games work on Ubuntu than are marked as Linux compatible by steam. I've tested a lot of games I already own and they usually work.

  4. the only thing I haven't been able to get running is my (Swedish) book keeping system. I think I just need to get more comfortable with wine and I'll probably get it working. We'll see. I keep a small windows partition specifically for book keeping.

Credit where credit is due. I was taught the strategy by Amelia Andersdotter, back then running for the European Parliament (then member of parliament).

Installing now. Surprised by the amount of work needed to make my BIOS accept that Linux isn't a security risk, but also surprised that Wifi worked just out of the box, even during the installer. A sign I've been away from Linux for a while.

I'm kinda leaning towards Bazzite. I've downloaded it, but I realized I don't have any USD drives at home :-/

Hi! I'm getting a new laptop any day now and I plan on going back to Linux after maybe a decade on Windows. What works best for gaming nowadays? Is manjaro good for that? I prefer a distro with a nice name but of course that's not the central thing. I'll also do some book keeping, writing et cetera but I don't think it's much to worry about. I also hope to use my Valve Index on it.
