I'm building a gaming PC for a friend using older parts that won't run Windows 11. I have no experience with Linux distributions, so I'm looking for recommendations on the best distros for a budget gaming setup. Any suggestions?

If you're really in a pinch and don't mind sticking with something a bit familiar, you could consider Windows 10 LTSC IoT. Just remember that it's a different setup from Linux options.
The choice of distro really hinges on how old the PC components are. For older hardware, I recommend looking into lightweight environments like XFCE or X11. If the parts are particularly outdated, MATE or even previous versions of distros might be a better fit.
It really depends on how keen you are to learn! If you want to dive deeper into customizing and understanding your setup, Arch Linux might be worth considering. For something more user-friendly, you could go for Puppy Linux or Linux Mint. They’re generally easier for newcomers.
