I’ve been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don’t like the direction they seem to be heading.

I’ve also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I’m sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I’m not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don’t want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

      Opinions =/= facts. And the fact that every GNU/Linux distro is equally good for gaming and everything else stands true.

      Why? Because all GNU/Linux distros are GNU/Linux at heart – and can be (equally) customized and improved.

      Or, in other words – “Because it’s not Windows lmao”.

        It is a fact that there are distros optimised for gaming.

        Why are you trying so hard to gatekeep?
