I’m going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I’m an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch… is it better for gaming since it’s bleeding edge and isn’t steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

      Yeah, there’s some issues with it, but I’m really tired of windows and don’t really want to install 11 or pay for it.

      Thanks for your response.

      As a Linux only user, I totally agree with your message.

      People who downvote you aren’t of good faith, are delusional or just dumb.

      Linux is better in every single category except ease of use for non-technical users and gaming.

      Let’s stop with this bandwagon of MS bad, Linux good; Linux is good enough for us to not lie and speak the truth…

        I’m not downvoting, but the fact that kernel malware games don’t work is a feature to me. It would be a full time job to keep from installing anything that demands obscene access for no legitimate reason on Windows. “It doesn’t work” is way easier.

        Pretty much everything else on Steam works without effort.
