I'm planning to switch to Linux as my main operating system since Windows support is coming to an end. However, I still need Windows for certain games, so I'm looking into dual booting on separate drives. I plan to reinstall a newer Windows version with a local account for gaming only, as I'm not a fan of Microsoft. I primarily use my PC for gaming, video editing, and programming. I want a Linux distribution that feels quick like Cachy but is also stable like Fedora. I've tried Mint, Cachy, Endeavour, Fedora, and Pop in live sessions, and while I found them decent, I'm still uncertain about which one to use as my main OS. I think Cachy is great, but I'm hesitant to jump into an Arch-based distro given my lack of experience due to potential update issues. I've heard good things about Pika and want to test it out, but I'm looking for some solid recommendations first. What's a good, stable distro that supports Nvidia GPUs and offers a snappy experience?

If gaming is a priority, I would recommend trying Kubuntu 25.10. It's really user-friendly for everyday tasks too. I've used it for both gaming and work without any major issues. The supportive community is a big plus, as you can find helpful insights for any specific programs you might need.
I totally agree! Kubuntu is solid for both work and play, and the community support can be a lifesaver for troubleshooting.
