OpenSuse Tumbleweed Gaming Advice (or in general) (self.linux_gaming)

Hey guys,

after a few months back on Windows 11 (mostly because of my CPU) i want to migrate again to Linux. With my old setup i used Linux Mint, but i know that some packages are really old and i needed to tinker a lot of things. I liked it a lot but im just thinking about to try out OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Because of a lot of things - KDE, Wayland etc. Do you have any experience with Tumbleweed and Gaming and is there maybe a recent recommendation how-to to set this up? What would be also great is Secure Boot - i read a few things that it is possible with OpenSuse Tumbleweed but do you guys have experience with it? I'm also open for other OS recommandations :) My CPU is a R9 7950X3D and my GPU is a Radeon RX 6950 XT And i have a AIO with a LCD Display (NZXT Kraken 280 RGB).

Thank you for your help :)

I have been using TW (and its predecessors) for around 17 years and have no major complaints at all! KDE Plasma is my preferred desktop and TW comes with that option as a default. Wayland is available but still has a few niggles with KDE Plasma in my experience.

TW will play both indie and mainstream games with no problem and comes with many repos of up-to-date packages. CoolerControl is a good app for setting up your Kraken if necessary. Your GPU should work out-of-the-box.

TW supports Secure Boot and should detect it when setting up. My advice for installation is to create a bootable USB stick with the network install version of TW and go from there. The GUI allows you to select a default installation or set things up just how you like them.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you very much! All you guys!

I tried the network installer but it keeps failing (i think because of maintenance --> https://status.opensuse.org/#scheduled-36 ) First of all, i do like the first few hours on TW (installed it on my notebook because cant boot my main machine right now and so i can try to tinker a bit with it).

And yes i do have a few question :)

But first of all i need to know if there is an app which can create WebApps like the WebApp application from mint. I know that i can create such things with chrome but is there an extra app for that available for TW? I searched the web but didn't find a good solution.

The other things i want to try out first before asking, but i'm realy shure, that there will be a few other things i need to ask :)
