@eldersea@expressional.social @cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza I've used mint (Debian based), Fedora and OpenSUSE In the last last year, and I haven't noticed any real differences between them for gaming, so I'm kind of assuming any relatively modern distros going to be practically identical for that use If you're doing the Gentoo thing where all of your packages are optimized specifically for your exact architecture, it's probably going to be a bit better at performance? But as I understand it, not many people do that these days

@eldersea@expressional.social @Canageek@wandering.shop Check out PikaOS. It's based on Debian, up to date, and last I checked was just following Debian's lead when it comes to AI. It's got gaming tweaks, up to date packages, and some in-house built tools that are honestly pretty great. It's also a solid foundation for general purpose stuff, and now I'm thinking about it, probably easier to maintain than anything Arch based. Make sure to grab the Nvidia iso if you have an Nvidia memory card.
