I’ve used Arch, Pop_OS for gaming in the past, was looking for a distro that just works and doesn’t have any extra fluff or do anything nonstandard. (For example I don’t like that some programs will only update through the pop shop on pop os and not through the terminal.)

    I’m running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It’s nice to have a distro that actually updates it’s Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.

    Literally any of them.

    All you do is install your drivers if using Nvidia, then just install your games, whether native packages, flatpak, Steam, Lutris, or whatever.

    I just run Debian 12 and everything through Lutris or native. Used to run Steam through Flatpak which also worked perfectly, but don’t play any games on Steam anymore.

      SteamOS is a Debian derivative, and has existed long before the steam Deck was a thing.

      Nvm looks like they switched to Arch for v3.
