My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

I would personally go for Nobara. It's also a gaming-oriented distro but it's made by the guy that does ProtonGE and WineGE, some of the best tools for gaming.

Honestly, I wouldn't use a distro that's maintained by a single person.

I say, using an Android System that's maintained by a single person.

You know what, go ahead, Nobara looks good.

I go for the best of both and use the Nobara kernel in Garuda

[-] caboclo@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 year ago

wait. How?

[-] DARbarian@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

You just have to download it from the AUR and compile it. Then Garuda makes it super easy to pick your kernel in the boot settings.

@caboclo @DARbarian It's heavy game dependent: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/linux-gaming/1337111-benchmarking-the-status-of-distros-for-games
