One of the many reasons I spent yesterday switching to Mint. Spent a while fucking around trying to get my drives to work but I only ruined everything and had to reinstall from the start once.
After I worked out Darktide really wanted to be on the same disk as Steam and needed an additional proton package it ran smoother than it did on Windows.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Ragging on Windows to THIS CROWD? Let me pull up a chair and listen to your other CONTROVERSIAL takes
yeah I'm on 10 ltsc and too lazy to change (except for migrating to a newer SSD to speed it up) but I see people are saying Bazzite linux is good for gaming now
I put Bazzite on an old laptop I bought off my work. I think it comes with a few extra packages for gaming, but most of it is handled through Steam and Proton.
You can get it to boot straight into Steam Big Picture mode like SteamOS so it's great for handhelds or loungeroom PCs.I think there's an option to not do that but you need to make that decision when you download the image version.
It's kind of like the 'SteamOS at home' distro that's almost as good. The go-to gaming option if your hardware isn't supported by SteamOS
As far as my last few days of reading about distros can tell, all of them are good for gaming - Proton does the heavy lifting, and the only thing it seems completely unable to deal with is kernel level anticheat. Bazzite is built to streamline gaming, particularly across multiple devices (eg PC and handheld), but as long as you can work out how to install Steam you can game on any distro.
