I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

I have been quite happy with Arch Linux, up until I got my Steam Deck, at which point I stopped playing on my non-Deck PCs, so... SteamOS, I suppose.

    ... which is an immutable variant of arch.

    Came here to say SteamOS as well. I am surprised more people aren't saying it. But the thing is, the Steam Deck works so well I have to wonder how many people don't know/care the OS it runs, or maybe they have forgotten it's running Linux, or maybe they know but don't consider themselves "Linux Gamers" just because they are using it.

    Sort of like how people playing on a Switch or PS3/4/Vita are technically FreeBSD gamers deep down.
