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 will try just normal fedora and if stuff does not work I will try bazzite. VM would be used for stuff that does not work through WINE like photoshop (10 year old cracked version).

    I'd give WINE a go before messing with a VM, I know some versions of photoshop do actually work: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=41345

    You can get cracked versions of the CC 2023 version, but if you wanna use your current version then yeah, just give it a go. Worst case you waste 30 minutes and have to install a VM anyway.
