Quoting: samurroOh so you dont need up to date packages to properly game on linux. I see. No clue where this hate stems from but its kind of ridiculous.

To each his own I guess.

I am beginning to suspect you're just a troll.

Quoting: samurroThe obvious answer is Arch. Not even joking. If you are pleb like me, go with Manjaro. But everything apart from Arch for gaming is not "best".

Valve agrees.

Valve agreed that it was the best for them to base their own distro on, not the best to use at home as regular users.

Curious, whats wrong with Arch-based distros for home users?

The use case in question is 'looking to move one's everyday stuff, including gaming, over to linux as a non-enthusiast, as someone not particularly keen to 'look under the hud' occasionally'.

I dont understand, where is this coming from? Neither the title nor the article says anything about that? Title explicitly says best linux distribution for gaming.

So you're saying the majority of gamers are techies? The best distribution for gaming would be the best distribution for gamers to game on.

Most of the time when I see Arch's boosters talk about Arch, they say it's hard work to install but by the time you manage it you understand your system far better and have more fine-grained control over it.
IMO exactly that disqualifies it for the average home user. It's a good thing to exist, for people who want to understand their system better. But most people don't, they want easy and user friendly and just working.

Well this is outdated knowlede by years. There are tons of easy to install/maintain arch-based distros out there.

Well that is totally irrelevant. The discussion you're coming into said nothing about "Arch-based". It was about Arch itself. I'd say the same about Debian, but totally not about some Debian-based distros.

Are we sure this is about guitars? Clone Hero could be a Star Wars game. :grin:

Well met! Wesley brothers (Plus their mother: people forget that Susanna was instrumental in John and Charles' formative years. Her work reads pretty well too.) fan club unite! (Yes, that pun was terrible.)

Gotta admit I don't really understand how Method acting could become an actual religion. :tongue:

Joining the chorus here, Valve agrees that you should take a snapshot of Arch, test it for a few months, and then use it while refusing Arch's updates so you don't break your system. Not sure that constitutes a vote of confidence in how ordinary people use Arch.

Quoting: GuestIf you're not concerned by this scenarii, I think a debian based distribution makes more sense as they're lighter on resources

Technically, Pop!OS is a debian based distribution.

(But a bunker seem to be an odd setting for an open-world game?)

The world is open. Your place in it, not so much. :grin:
