From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's Garuda Linux shilling time. Seriously tho the distro does not matter when it comes to gaming (at least not much)

@Holzkohlen @stephfinitely
Exactly! I've tried many distros. No deference except the driver version in your distro. for example if you need nvidia 500 series drivers they are not in debian 11 repo.
But i never saw a deference in the performance.
