Basically, I have a laptop (5800H/RTX3050) and Windows is irritating me to no end. I am thinking of completely formatting it and replacing it with whatever distro can give me the best gaming compatibility. For reference, I play - CS:GO, DoTA, Asphalt, and a little bit of Overwatch.

I was thinking of Arch since SteamOS is based on it but would like your opinion on it.

    As someone who uses Arch as their daily driver: DO NOT use Arch if you’re not already very familiar with the Linux ecosystem. It’s very powerful, but not at all beginner friendly.

        I see. Your most made me think you’re new to Linux. If you understand the concepts and can keep up with a rolling release, I highly recommend Arch.

        My bother uses it for gaming, and it’s great!
