My kid wants to install Linux on their gaming PC.

(Gimme a sec here. I'm not crying, you're crying. Anyway.)

What distro would you recommend for someone who wants to run recent AAA games on good hardware?

@tek *HIGH FIVE TEK JR*

I literally just ran my first ever sudo command. :apartyblobcat:

I chose Mint because apparently it works well with Steam and my 4070 (can confirm the 4070 part)

@alltherum I’m a proud dad!

Ah, cool. I'd used Mint but it's been so long that my experience isn't relevant anymore.

@tek @alltherum
The handy thing about Mint is that is has all the advantages of Ubuntu, but the layout is familiar to Windows users. It was an easy switch for me.

@forpeterssake @alltherum That carries some weight. I like the idea of giving them an easy transition off Windows.
