I'd personally recommend openSuse Tumbleweed if you are looking for the most up to date software with an easy setup. Been using it for a solid year now for gaming and general use with zero issues.

If you are looking for stability, and a strong gaming focus I would recommend Bazzite. Its stable, comes with everything basically game ready, and is pretty simple. It does come with the cost of less customization but it's atomic nature makes it really hard to break. It's solid for general use as well.

I would recommend Linux Mint. Its really simple to work with and basically plug and play. Comes with a solid software selection and built in tools. I personally really like the cinammon and mate editions. Cinnamon has a bit more modern look to it and MATE is a bit more retro. 

Maybe they just really miss you?

Another +1 for Tumbleweed. It's an simple setup, easy to roll back if needed, and has solid tools like Yast that help manage most aspects of your os.

Looks amazing! Definitely gonna keep my eye on this one!

Oh for sure! It looks like something that came out of the 2010s but it's definitely a jump over MoinMoin.

Farcry Primal. Saw it was on sale recently, so I decided to snag it. It's not bad so far and a fun setting to mess around in. Works with my linux setup and steam deck.

Currently playing a bunch of Aliens: The Dark Descent. Solid game if you like the xcom style but real time instead of turn based.

Looks great! Love the cute little homestead vibe!

Love the look! Looks like something straight of a cyberpunk anime!

How does LMDE compare to base Linux Mint? Is it essentially the same as the Ubuntu based version of Mint but just based purely on Debian instead or are there other differences?

Been using opensuse as my daily os for about 8 months now and I have gotten pretty used to Yast but I am excited to see what Myrlyn brings to the table. Hopefully it fills most of the gaps and offers a smoother experience.

This looks pretty interesting. I picked this game up when it first launched in EA and wasn't super impressed with it. Is it worth coming back to at this point or is it still feeling pretty empty?

Supreme Commander. Lots of units, a good campaign and games against the AI are pretty fun.

Looks great! Love the retro vibes and the fun fetch! Always wanted to give LXQt a try and this might have convinced me.

Opensuse tumbleweed for me. the most up to date packages, a btrfs file system so rollbacks are extremely simple, and great tools like yast that make management easy. Favorite distro so far.

Glad it's working out so far! It's been a rock solid distro for me and hopefully it's the same for you!

If you like the most up to date software but an wasy setup I generally recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed. Its easy to manage, gets the newest software, well supported, and has worked great for boty gaming and hobbiest level programming. Been using it for almost a year eith zero issues.

If you are looking for something more gaming focused and kind of just ready right out of the box, Bazzite is a good call. Its atomic so hard to break, big community so lots of support, and has all the necessary software installed.

Love the ship and the little island! I've seen those on the overworld but haven't had a chance to settle one yet. It looks so cute and cozy!

I run it at normal (medium) quality and generally get a consistent 60 fps. Anything above that and it starts to dip into the 40s.
