From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use cachyos, it has an install gaming packages button that does all that for you, also have amd gpu and cpu, I use blender and steam fine
I did have to use gparted to manually partiition and set the boot flag since automatically it didnt work, just did exactly what it tried to do automatically, manually, takes 5 seconds. Otherwise it's really easy, nicer and faster to install than windows.
You plugin the usb, boot in, and its in kde running off the usb, so you can kinda test out kde plasma desktop environment, and the install is hella fast, coming from reinstalling windows the week before, insane, like a 100000th of the time. Then you just go through a fully graphical install process, after that clicking buttons to install most of the drivers and apps you need fairly easily, without searching on your own.
Every thing ppl mention here comes with cachyos or through the gaming packages button after installing
You also choose your desktop environment out of many options, plasmas just the default, you may have a much higher chance of breaking your install doing something later compared to bazzite
But bazzites install process felt hobbled together in comparison
