Hey guys,

after a few months back on Windows 11 (mostly because of my CPU) i want to migrate again to Linux. With my old setup i used Linux Mint, but i know that some packages are really old and i needed to tinker a lot of things. I liked it a lot but im just thinking about to try out OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Because of a lot of things - KDE, Wayland etc. Do you have any experience with Tumbleweed and Gaming and is there maybe a recent recommendation how-to to set this up? What would be also great is Secure Boot - i read a few things that it is possible with OpenSuse Tumbleweed but do you guys have experience with it? I'm also open for other OS recommandations :) My CPU is a R9 7950X3D and my GPU is a Radeon RX 6950 XT And i have a AIO with a LCD Display (NZXT Kraken 280 RGB).

Thank you for your help :)

Secure Boot is definitely possible with oS TW. You can select to enable it on install.

With AMD you will be using the open-source drivers for gaming which means openSUSE will give you the benefit of the latest and greatest drivers for best performance.

Honestly just install it with your DE of choice and install Steam. Even for non-Steam games I find that loading them through Steam to use Proton is typically better than setting up Wine independently.
