    Well I tried Ubuntu and Debian in the past, but according to testing that Photonic did, Arch was doing a lot better as far as gaming performance. It was a fun system to use, just could not get music or gaming working smoothly.

      None of those are gaming related distros. There’s Nobara, PopOS, Garuda, and many others that come with a bunch of gaming ready pre installed packages. Debian is like super stable, but it is that because it uses super old packages, which isn’t ideal for gaming and Ubuntu is Debian based with similar issues, on top of its own issues. Arch is literally just the basic OS, that’s what it is supposed to be. Installing Arch and then complaining that you have to manually install all those packages is just stupid because that’s (more or less) the whole point of this distro. To have a very base line operating system without bloat. Not that it is that much of a task to install them, but yeah, it’s obviously not something for some Windows bro who needs help installing a browser. If you cannot troubleshoot under Windows, then you’ll not be able to troubleshoot under Linux, that much is for sure.
