Is PopOS the best for easy gaming? (beehaw.org)

Hey folks!

Thinking of switching back to Linux. I was running PopOS about 1.5 years ago and was pretty happy with the gaming aspect of things, but I was playing a lot of VALORANT back then, and I got sick of dual booting. That is less the case now, so I would like to try going back to Linux for the majority of my gaming / streaming setup, and just use Windows for the handful of games like Destiny 2 that won't run on Linux.

I am fairly new to Linux. Don't mind learning some terminal stuff, but I am basically a noob so it does need to be pretty easy to start with. Got a NVIDIA 3080 and AMD CPU if that matters at all.

Recommend me a distro please fellow penguin gamers.

Lol what's the issue with the name? I've heard a few people express this and have never understood it.

@falchy heh! it sounds like a tv channel for toddlers

Haha ok. I can see that. I think I never thought anything of it due to the sheer volume of distro names, some odd. Like PuppyOS or other ones like it. Just another bit of flavor to me.

@falchy although I think its actually a decent distro (but prefer mint)

See I could never get Mint. I tried it for a while but just ended up back on Arch. Now I'm eyeing NixOS.
