It’s been 2 years or so but when I last tried Mint for gaming, my performance was awful. I tried all the general tips recommended online, but in the end I just switched to PopOS (and now Bazzite). But maybe by now it’s better
When I first switched to linux I used Mint and it was a horrible experience with my laptop at the time for gaming. the laptop itself was a hybrid Nvidia/AMD GPU so…I mean…Not a great experience for most distros but it was REALLY bad on Mint.
on other Distros it was better but I was regulated to Wayland only as hybrids on X11 are just a no go.
So depending on your setup gaming on linux can potentially just be as easy as installing steam or it can turn into a chore.
Any popular Linux distro fits. I’d go with mint
Out of the box Mint is terrible for gaming.
I thought gaming on Linux is literally just installing steam and you’re good to go?

I think it is. Again, I game on Mint and have had 0 issues with any of my games so far. Maybe he is just using older hardware or something?
Is it? I game on Mint and have had no issues so far.
Hm maybe it got better or was specific to my hardware
