What distro would you recommend to harness the full power of this semi old cheapo PC with an NVIDIA GPU? (feddit.org)

I use KDE Neon on my laptop and I'd prefer to have KDE as a DE on this one too (if possible) but I don't mind a non Ubuntu base. Basically I'd just like to be able to play games on it without much hassle but I know how to paste commands into the terminal if the need arises.

Latest drivers and packages?

  • yes: Arch, Fedora, Bazzite
  • no: Debian

Want to do maintenance work, set it up and learn?

  • yes: Arch
  • some: Fedora, Debian
  • none: Bazzite

Note: Bazzite is so established that Marvel Rivals' developer Netease has released game patches targeting that distro specifically. It's the current most recommended gaming diestro.

I use Aurora on my laptop & Bazzite on my desktop.

Bazzite, really? I had never really heard of it before now! Very interesting.

It’s fantastic. If you are completely gaming-focused, there isn’t a better distro.

Debian is still and option for updated drivers if you use the backports repo
