The best linux distro for gaming and graphic design? (lemmy.world)

I am in the process of building my own PC. Nothing fancy, just something that is much more powerful than the old PC I currently have. I've been using Linux on my laptop for a few years now (KDE Neon), and I'm very happy with it, I would like to put Linux on my next PC, but I have my doubts...

I don't know if I should stay with the distro I already use or if there is one that better suits my needs.

On the one hand, I'm a graphic designer but I've been using only FOSS for many years, I only use Adobe in the office (reluctantly). On the other hand, I have seen that thanks to Steam with Proton gaming on linux is getting better and better. What I don't know is if SteamOS can be good not only for gaming.

I would like to know if there is a distro that works well both for gaming and designing using FOSS (like Krita, Inkscape, KDEnlive, etc) or if it's ok to stick with KDE Neon.

Bazzite is made for gaming, so it's a safe choice in that regard.

They recently released a DX (developer experience) spin, which I've been running lately. That feels very similar to the other atomic Fedora developer spins, so it has a lot of creative software working well. I've used GIMP, Inkscape, Darktable etc. on it, and there's even some nice automation to install/update DaVinci Resolve.

They're also working on a GDX (game developer experience) spin, which should be even better. You might want to check that out when it's ready.
