Linux gamers, what distro are you currently on?

I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things.

I've run Arch in the past but I've gotten too old and lazy for that if I'd be completely honest. I have played with manjaro and endeavour though.. and opensuse tumbleweed, rolling is kind of nice.

Not sure what I'd try out first this time so I figured I'd get some inspiration from you guys!

I installed Kubuntu.. I couldn't be assed to resize my efi partition to a gig and disrupt windows.. Done that in the past with varying results. Wish they didn't require it to be that big tbh.

I do miss Arch.. wouldn't surprise me if I'll install it again soon.

Kubuntu works. But where's the fun in that? :)

It's like.. I installed it, messed with lutris a bit (needed a newer version) and installed Diablo 4, everything works.. and now I feel like I'm missing out somehow. :)

You're missing out on chasing the dragon for the latest and greatest. :)

Arch is fine once you get it setup, but I feel like the nerd in us can never just leave it be. I'll probably go back to pop_os next major release they have.

Sometimes I wish I had a machine dedicated to nothing but reinstalling different distros. :)

It can get a bit disrupting to do it on your main rig too often.

Use a VM?

I know, I do that too but it's just not quite the same for some reason.
