I use Windows for my desktop PC but I'm also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I'm not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I'm interested in how people are gaming on Linux

I use Linux Mint and running ProtonGE with Steam means everything works. Personally I would recommend Mint over Ubuntu at this point. I have seen others have good experiences with Nobara and Garuda as well.

A lot of people recommending Mint. I've used it a little a long time ago but I might give it a shot
