What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming (beehaw.org)

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

If you're new to gaming you might do well with ubuntu since it tends to be a good distro to start with with lots of support.

One of the big things is to do research and make sure how your hardware might perform on linux because some hardware can surprise you.

Yeah that's a good point about hardware cause it might not perform as well with Linux drivers
