I'm looking for some guidance on my distro choice as I transition from Windows to Linux. I've been using Bazzite for my gaming needs, primarily playing on Steam, and I'm quite happy with it. However, I've decided to explore more mainstream distros since I want to dive deeper into Linux without the constraints of a niche or immutable distro. My main concerns are ensuring that my gaming experience remains smooth and that I can easily set things up after a long day of work. I've been considering Debian and Fedora, as I'm not interested in Ubuntu or Mint, but I'm not sure which would be better for my gaming setup. I have an AMD GPU, so I'm not worried about compatibility with NVIDIA. I'd love any advice on the best direction to take regarding these distros!

If it works for you, then it's a solid choice! The key factor is your user experience and comfort level.
Yes, gaming can be tricky with more generic distros. You might encounter little quirks, like needing to adjust CPU priority for certain games. It can take time to tweak these settings for optimal performance. So, be prepared to do some research on your new distro if you switch, especially regarding any gaming tweaks that need addressing.
Thanks for the info! Is there a specific resource you recommend for these gaming quirks, or should I just Google them?
