Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.
Now don’t get me wrong, they’re great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.
Ubuntu is the most popular and common distro
OEM vendors primarily use it as their reference distro when testing and supporting drivers, hardware, applications, games, etc.
It’s the path of least resistance.
