Best Linux Distro for Gaming and Office Work Without Having to Tinker
Asked by

I'm looking to switch from Windows due to concerns about its updates and the inclusion of unwanted features. I play a ton of games on Steam and other launchers, as well as retro PC games that require older versions of Windows. I do a bit of office work too. My goal is to find a Linux distro that just works without needing constant tinkering or technical fiddling. I recently built a new PC with the latest components, and I'm moving away from my old Windows 10 setup. I also prefer an interface similar to what I'm used to, as I find learning new UIs a bit challenging. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Just a heads up, if you play games that require anti-cheat, Linux might be problematic for those. You could check ProtonDB for compatibility on your favorite titles.
