So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don’t wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don’t rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

    Bazzite is made for gaming and it’s worked for me pretty flawlessly for about 6 months BUT I had a lot of issues getting it to run a VM. I’m certainly not a Linux expert but I eventually gave up trying.

      There’s a ujust script to set up virtualisation on Bazzite. ujust setup-virtualization in the terminal should get you going. Alongside the background stuff it sets up, it installs a GUI virtual machine manager.

      There is a ujust script for enabling KVM.

      I forget exactly how I had to do it. If there’s anything need beyond ujust, if you search for it, you’ll find solutions (if nothing for Bazzite, try “silverblue” instead in your search as it’ll likely be the same solution)

          It’s another immutable Fedora spin that predates Bazzite.

          If you’re using Bazzite and have trouble finding solutions online, usually substituting silverblue works for me. “Kinoite” might also work. Anything with ostree is going to have similar solutions for most things.
