Hey folks! I've been diving into the world of Linux and can't decide between Fedora with KDE or Mint with Cinnamon for my PC, which will run alongside Windows 11. A big factor for me is Secure Boot support since I'm looking to play Battlefield 6 on Windows. Here are my main use cases:
1. **Gaming:** I'm primarily a Steam user with an NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti, playing a mix of both older and newer titles.
2. **Game Development:** I still prefer Windows for game dev, but I want to ease the transition to Linux when I need a break from it.
3. **General Development:** I dabble in various projects but mainly focus on game development.
**Why I'm considering Mint:**
- Built on Ubuntu LTS, providing solid proprietary support.
- Keeps using an up-to-date kernel due to the HWE stack.
- More current NVIDIA drivers.
- I don't always need the latest versions for gaming.
- I struggled with GNOME on Ubuntu, needing multiple extensions to get my workflow right.
**Why Fedora looks appealing:**
- Found that Wayland was smoother for gaming, despite mixed reviews.
- Staying updated is important given the fast-paced Linux gaming world.
- Offers a cutting-edge experience.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's used either of these distros, or if you have suggestions!

The Linux gaming scene is fast, but you can stick with an older version like Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04, as long as it works with your hardware. I usually go for Mint for its stability, or OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for cutting-edge features. Fedora’s updates can be a hassle sometimes.
