Main/Gaming PC switch over (lemmy.ca)

First off, I have had a few different linux distro's over the years but I hardly know whats going on. Had a headless server, where again, I barely got it up and running.

Right now all but my main PC are running mint and I'm almost there on biting the bullet on moving my main to mint but I'm just not sure if it'll run everything, along with triple monitor setup. I was thinking of temple OS, but mint would probably be my choice.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Mint is what i run on my main, as it's excellent as a daily driver. Been doing that for over 10 years now. On my other more specialized machines I run other distros more suited to the function.

Mint is pretty hassle free to set up for gaming, really. Once you have your GPU driver installed, just:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install steam

Try it and see how it goes.
