It’s become known to me that as of late, basically every game works on Linux. This is becoming even more prevalent thanks to the steam deck I assume.

I’m totally ready to make a system image of my windows as a backup and install Garuda ( Or some other distro if a better case can be made) and give it a go. Is there anything I need to worry about?

Ryzen 7 7700

32gigs ram

RTX 4080 GPU

4k HDR monitor

cheapo 1080p side monitor

Thanks for any help or advice.

    I know that for the most part. They’re easily replicated. The gamer distros seem to have two benefits for me.

    Knowing what you’ll need can be a little rough as a new guy. They at least claim to have a lot of all that bundled in. Maybe someday I’ll build something a little more ground up. Once I get some knowledge.

    The bigger ones have communities of people dedicated to gaming. Which might come in handy. ( Which isn’t to say their knowledge won’t apply to different OS. It likely would.)
