Pathetic, I run FreeBSD on my abacus. And it runs Doom, too!

Arch? So weak. I do everything only using the bios.

If you’re new to linux, I would recommend something that would work out of the box and which would be user-friendly, like Bazzite (gaming oriented) or Manjaro (User-friendly arch-based distro, with GUI for app management, drivers management etc). Lots of people will recommend Linux Mint and that is not a bad entry point as well.

Note that linux works generally better with AMD GPUs, but Nvidia hardware is coming around more and more.

Oh god, I’m in the hidden Manjaro slums

Yeah, Bazzite seems user-friendlier, like Manjaro was for Arch

For me, it’s been Manjaro for ten years, but I’m eyeing atomic distros more and more, like Bazzite.

I have been a casual user of gnu/linux since Ubuntu, and was very curious and interested by the concept of libre/ open-source. I’m still a casual user now, but have fully switched to Manjaro when Proton became official and I could finally just start gaming on linux. It was rough at first, but now I can play seamlessly on a system that isn’t bloated and doesn’t require a live colonoscopy to even work. I love Manjaro for its ease of use. Even my mother can use it.
