Message: [QUOTE="homesforgnomes, post: 49370, member: 161523"] Don't forget Lutris, the user-made install scripts make it easy to set up most popular games with little to no technical know-how. My 2cents on distros for newbies: - Debian is still the least painful (in terms of updates breaking things) but there are times that having stable (out of date, often) software gets in the way. There was one time near the end of the last point release of Debian where I had to use an older version of Wine (or DXVK) that wouldn't work with some games because of old Nvidia drivers. Probably better with an AMD GPU. - Mint and MX are like Debian but with newer software and an easier time installing more recent GPU drivers/kernels. My friend uses Mint for gaming and it's mostly been issue-free, but a couple times an update to Wine or Lutris has broken something for him. - Endeavour I haven't used, but I did use Arch (which it's based on) for a year or so. You'll always have the latest drivers and wine versions, but (if it's anything like Arch) sometimes updates will break things. For what it's worth I probably had less issues on Arch than my friend has had on Mint. [/QUOTE]
