Like 10-15 years ago I was into linux and tried a bunch of different distros (PCLinuxOS, Mint, CentOS, OpenSuse…) and was quite happy with the, then, limited options of gaming on linux (It was the time Valve released TF2 for linux)

But time passed, I got a new PC and didn’t bothered install any linux distro (because I got a small HDD and didn’t wanted to split it in partitions for linux)

Back then stuff like Proton did not even exists, so today I’m kind of lost and don’t know what flavour I should pick, so here I am asking for advice

A couple of relevant details about the hardware, my PC is a little bit old (i7-7700) I hope that’s not an obstacle to enjoy gaming on linux I also have an Nvidia graphic card

Also, while most people just use Steam I also use GOG regularly, if that matters

    I’m on Manjaro since like a week ago, and it’s been great, barely any tinkering needed, and there are plenty of resources to easily do everything. Kde runs great and it’s such a pleasure to use. Also, very easy to install nvidia drivers, just a couple of clicks.

      @potajito Manjaro is my go to. I prefer the i3 version. But, it’s such a solid system. I’ve always liked arch and arch based systems. But the set up is usually a pain and they break. Not Manjaro though. Things a rock.
