The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2025

I try all good distro for gaming, and Arch-based is the best!
Manjaro is great Arch-based and more stable than Arch-vanilla.
I gaming on Manjaro in years with no problem.
Ubuntu's are outdated and snap-messing. Snaps are slow and problematic.
Arch is the way, even Steam understand this.

The best gaming distro is still Manjaro, after tryed tons of distros. It is not about only packages, but kernel optimizations and easy choice of new or old kernels to use.

I cannot understand what is meaning HDR support?
Is support Nvidia? Or Just AMD with selected games?
I thought linux don't have any HDR support at least on Nvidia side.

Quoting: deathxxxStill Nvidia Big Picture performance - not fixed! We will wait one more eternity for fix. On Windows is ok.
Hmm, big picture works well for me on a 3070ti, but perhaps check your settings and ensure Steam Settings > Interface > "Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views" is enabled? Only reason I can think for poor performance.
It is enabled, still terrible performance and crackling sound. 3060 Ti here.
I try in several linux distros and still issue.

This ray-tracing is just useless. Heavy drop performance for what?
Are someone care about ray-tracing? If you play game, do you look at ray-tracing? Or look other things, like how to keep alive?

Diablo IV free to play on Steam until Tuesday

Quoting: RaySoundI hope it will be synchronized with the Blizzard account
It does.
There is not much gameplay for D4, it's all the same. Go, kill, go kill. Noting interesting.
Also beware for Nvidia users. Game is optimized for AMD cards, even on Win. For Nvidia users game has VRAM leak issue, witch lead to stutters and slow down. But there is a trick with one proton command, witch is not available for Win.
You will say - but for win we have fix alredy - but not really. They fix it, but just fast fix and VRAM usage still vary on Win.
So Blizz only fix for real a console versions. Not caring much for PC.

Noting serious. Just another children game.
