Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

I use Garuda as well! Can I ask what you’re referring to by the maintenance panel? I’m not able to place it.

I'm mainly refering to the "garuda assistant" app that is installed on there but I should have said garuda apps, since even the terminal launched "garuda-update" is nice to have
