When I first switched to linux I used Mint and it was a horrible experience with my laptop at the time for gaming. the laptop itself was a hybrid Nvidia/AMD GPU so…I mean…Not a great experience for most distros but it was REALLY bad on Mint.
on other Distros it was better but I was regulated to Wayland only as hybrids on X11 are just a no go.
So depending on your setup gaming on linux can potentially just be as easy as installing steam or it can turn into a chore.
It’s been 2 years or so but when I last tried Mint for gaming, my performance was awful. I tried all the general tips recommended online, but in the end I just switched to PopOS (and now Bazzite). But maybe by now it’s better
Any popular Linux distro fits. I’d go with mint
Out of the box Mint is terrible for gaming.
I thought gaming on Linux is literally just installing steam and you’re good to go?
“depends”.

I think it is. Again, I game on Mint and have had 0 issues with any of my games so far. Maybe he is just using older hardware or something?

Is it? I game on Mint and have had no issues so far.
Hm maybe it got better or was specific to my hardware
