Nothing like that "new distro" feel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using it daily for about a year on my primary desktop gaming pc without any issues. I love it.
As for performance, I vaguely remember phoronix doing a benchmark comparison of a few distros and in some tests it was marginally better (cannot find it now though...). For the most part though I'd say it's not as much about potential performance gains as it is ease of use for gaming. So many useful tweaks and useful programs "out-of-the-box".
Awesome, thank you. I'm kind of "shopping" around since I'll have to reinstall my distro soon
