What's your experience with gaming using Elementary OS? (lemmy.ca)

Like the title says.

I've just been experimenting with some distros like Endeavour, POP! and Elementary. I did a little review here.

Elementary really stood out for me as one of the best looking and easiest Desktop Linux distributions so far. Its simplicity is really appealing to me and I feel it would allow me to focus on the important stuff instead of going full ADHD and constantly trying to tweak my desktop with some new widgets or customization. (KDE is horrible for that, even though I really like that environment.)

Do any of you use it as a daily and specifically for gaming? What was your experience like?

Used to run eOS several years ago, as I was coming off using OSX. I quickly realised it was more of a skin deep imitation and ended up switching to gnome, that keeps all the drag&drop actions across all apps. If you have some spare time, give fedora a go, which comes with a vanilla gnome install. Flatpaks are well integeated, speedy tested updates and installing nvidia drivers is 2 clicks on the software app (scroll down on the main page to see the "drivers" section)
