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've been using Fedora for the past few years and have been pretty happy with it. It updates at just the right cadence for me where I get new stuff pretty quickly but I'm not on a rolling release.

I'm using Gentoo.

If I wanted a smooth no-tinkering experience, I'd use Ubuntu. Or hell, steamos.

Fedora but I'm about to move to NixOS Unstable or VanillaOS if it gets better NVIDIA integration.

I am on Vanilla OS with a NVIDIA gpu and its running pretty well.

Been gaming on Gentoo for over a year, even if I haven't found much time for gaming in the last few months.

Don't do it if you've gotten too lazy for Arch though. Try Pop!_OS or Linux Mint or something. Enjoy an easy distro for a bit, till you get the itch for Arch back.

Oh I've tinkered with Gentoo plenty in the past (I still miss OTW if that rings any bells) and no, I really don't have the patience for it these days. :)

And yeah, I'll probably end up installing something a bit more fancy soon-ish.. for now I plopped Kubuntu 20.04 on there and Diablo IV is downloading as we speak!

I use Arch with KDE. I don't recommend Manjaro because it has historically had some serious problems, so for people who want Arch without as much hassle, I'm recommending EndeavourOS. It's what Manjaro should be like.

Most of my gaming these days is done on my Steam Deck running stock SteamOS. I also play a few games on my main Linux Mint system.
