So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don't wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don't rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

I just want a VM for my 10 year old cracked version of photoshop and some other apps. I never intended to game on a VM.

    Of you're going foss for your OS why not take a look at Krita and gimp for your image editing needs?

    I've not tried either in years at this point hut can't hurt to check them out if you haven't already.

    I tried GIMP but just cannot get used to it. Heard there are some ways to make the tools and shortcuts behave like PS though just never tried it.

    Have you tried the newest release? It seems to be more PS leaning, at least that's what I hear from PS experts.

    Any distro will do tbh. If youre missing something you just install it.

    But since youre used to Fedora may as well stay on that tree. You can always play around with other Desktop Environments like Plasma if you want, its what I've been doing once I get an install going.
