Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

  Mint is good for gaming and simple for most people but there are other distros which run newer versions of software or/and has more access to software. I generally use distros based on arch, such as EndeavourOS with the caveat that they sometimes break.

  I play old games and interestingly had better FPS with default Mint than default Bazzite. Old like the last golden age 90s 2000s.

  Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).

  Bazzite has been excellent on my older AM4 desktop with mid range AMD card. Steam came ready to roll and performance was so close to Win 10 LTSC, that I have yet to try a different distro.

    I can’t recommend Bazzite. You can’t install new drivers if something doesn’t work right out of the box and that is just a complete no go for many people.

      I hear ya. Its definitely not for everyone. If you are into tweaking your system, Bazzite isn’t for you. But I took the plunge, installed the apps and games I need, and its been running great the last few months. Just my 2 cents. YMMV.

        Right but it literally doesn’t work on my system and I literally can’t make it work by design. It’s not a matter of liking “tweaking my system” it literally doesn’t work at all.

      Yes, Bazzite adds complexity due to its immutable nature.

      But then again, if you have driver issues on Linux (which has become reasonably rare these days), they’re hard to resolve either way, particularly as a beginner.

        Nah it was pretty easy to update the drivers. I had to look up a guide but compared to updating windows it was nothing.
