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.

There's a ujust script to set up virtualisation on Bazzite. ujust setup-virtualization in the terminal should get you going. Alongside the background stuff it sets up, it installs a GUI virtual machine manager.

It's all a blur now but I know I did something with ujust. I'll try it again to make sure, thank you for the info.
