Hey there, I’m relatively new to Linux, and I must admit, I’ve been spoiled by Nobara Linux. The gaming experience is seamless, with excellent performance and no issues so far. I know many people claim, “The distribution really doesn’t matter” or “There are only minor differences,” etc.
However, I don’t fully subscribe to this belief. Just recently, someone advised against recommending Linux Mint for gaming. If you take a closer look at the Nobara Project, Glorious Eggroll has implemented numerous patches, and benchmark videos do reveal a noticeable difference.
I’m eager to explore various distros, leading me to my question: How can one genuinely optimize their system for gaming? I’ve heard about applying kernel patches, but I’d love to hear more from those with experience. Achieving the level of optimization seen in Nobara Linux, thanks to GE’s efforts, seems like a lofty goal for me. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Well, first of all, get a Distro with mirrors that have the newest packages. Also, you could say that xfce is kinda superior since it uses way less Ram than other Guis. Also, delete all those packages you dont need, especially on ubuntu since there its more or less the worst. Also, depending on the distro, they may put certain patches in their official mirrors, so that helps too
