Lately I’ve been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I’ve tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don’t know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.
GUI doesn’t matter. AMD will always be simpler right now. Nvidia still has all kinds of issues. I think what you want to know is which distro has the fewest issues with Nvidia drivers? Just a guess.
GUI absolutely does matter for helping adoption of linux, I’m not interested in hearing arguments to the contrary either. Everything should be as GUI’d as possible if we want linux to grow
It does not.
The GUI just relegates all commands to the CLI tools under the hood.
His argument was that it would help adoption if it was not necessary for the user to go to the terminal. And that is absolutely true when talking about the normal gamer.
