Hello. I would like to switch to Linux, but I also want to play. I have seen that all the games I play can be played on Linux with no problem. But I’m not sure about the distro. I have seen that Nobara is a good option, but before taking the plunge, I would like to know what your experience has been with it. Thank you

While I agree more information about hardware could be useful in the post, I disagree with the just try it yourself attitude. Aside from seeing if it boots up or has significant graphical glitches, how do you expect someone who never used Linux before to judge anything about a distro but its looks? It’s only natural for people who don’t know about a topic to ask knowledgeable people to make judgements for them.
There are videos ALL over the internet of people actually using these distro’s and explaining key aspects of it. There are posts everyday with people discussing issues asking for help. Which provide insight into problems you may run into. I’m just not sure I understand the value of a lemmy comment about “tried it once and it was cool” vs everything is else. Just do the thing or don’t. It’s just a silly Linux distro.
when you can install the likes of PopOs within 15 minutes, or Tumbleweed in 30 (just using those examples because I’ve installed them recently), then just install it and see goes it goes.
Or as you said, if a distro has a live usb you may not even need to install to test.
No one else brought up the importance of backups, supported software ( outside gaming ), installation process or real world problems with hardware compatibility.
Taking my own advice, I guess it’s not a big deal. It’s just an OS. But I’d argue what I mentioned ARE the problems people experience when dipping their toes into Linux. Top 2 voted comments are users who don’t even use the distro. I guess these days we go off general vibe over facts and logic.
