Best Linux Distro For Playing On Steam? (lemmy.world)

I am switching to Linux for the first time.

I heard Mint is really good but am not sure exactly which distro is best to use with Steam, as well as with newer games, as I primarily use my computer for gaming.

I generally play games like Final Fantasy XIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls Online, and Total War: Warhammer 3.

I'm using Steam without any issues on Linux Mint. If you consider that, people prefer installing the .deb from the website over flatpak or the version of the Software Manager in Mint.

flatpak borks VR, per steam. For the Linux compatible non VR games Ubuntu worked great under Gnome. I am most of the way to having VR working but I had to switch from Gnome on Ubuntu to Kubuntu. Now to figure out how to get the room setup to run, some other file is running and setup cannot launch. 1 step at a time.
