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.

although actual native-linux games seem to have issues while running the windows-version of the same game on proton just work - WEIRD.

Its not really weird.

  1. Windows is unfortunately what most people are using so it gets first priority for everything
  2. Linux environments can vary considerably. Running it in Windows gives a fixed environment for the game to run in
