Best Linux gaming distro for 2010's hardware. in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I am fairly new to Linux overall, so I'm not sure how confident I would be installing arch, but I guess it's worth a go.

Between the two computers (because I have two older systems I found to work from), I have 40gb of ram, but obviously not all of that will fit in one system. The best ram I have speed/size wise is 16gb of ddr3 1866mhz fury hyperx. That was what I was thinking of using for the gaming system. So I should be good in the memory department.

If they are dropping GTX driver support, what would you recommend I do?

This is a bit of an updated post for some hardware that sort of fell into my lap that I'm trying to decide what to do with. I found a rig on the trash that has a GTX 970 and after taking off the cooler I learned it has an i7 4790 CPU. For the time it came out, this was pretty top tier hardware, but obviously today it's dated.

So I was thinking of doing a living room emulation build with this, for games up to wii/PS2, and maybe some older PC games as well. I was originally thinking of going with batocera, but considering I would like to do retro PC gaming as well, I'm not sure this is the best option. I don't know if bazzite would be the best option either, since that usually focuses on modern pc gaming.

So any thoughts on the best software for this rig, for the uses I'm thinking?

I usually just end up closing steam and going back to doomscrolling Lemmy/YouTube.

These programs exist for a reason. Free market capitalism is what made them necessary in the first place.

No no, you don't understand, you're only a true Marxist if you call for armed revolution. /s

Ubuntu Studio for a first distro? (lemmy.zip)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/52697342

I've been searching around for the right linux raft I need to jump off of the sinking microsoft ship, and I am currently considering giving Ubuntu Studio a go. My primary activities are music production and gaming, so the massive number of creative tools that are available seem like it would really level up my music production game, and possibly inspire me to try out some other creative avenues as well. It's kind of amazing to see the possibilities with all the free software out there these days.

So, does anyone use Ubuntu Studio, and do you have any tips or any things to watch out for as far as quirks? Would this be a good option as a first install, or should I go with something else?
