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.

It's another immutable Fedora spin that predates Bazzite.

If you're using Bazzite and have trouble finding solutions online, usually substituting silverblue works for me. "Kinoite" might also work. Anything with ostree is going to have similar solutions for most things.
