Thanks!!!
Lol, that was my first thought too, but I was surprised to find that a lot of people are using other stuff, so it got me curious.
Oh yeah, the setup assistant from garuda sounds like it might be helpful for him.
Oh thanks for the endeavor recommendation. It might be a bit too much of a change for us, but I'll let him take a look.
I know that any distro can be a gaming distro in principle, but we don't really know what changes we should be making to improve his experience, so that's what we're hoping one of the gaming distros can help with. I'm fairly comfortable with what I need to do for my daily use, but not so much for games.
Thanks, yeah my impression of Wayland was similar. Curious why not flatpak steam; that's what he was using before, and it seemed fine.
I think he wants to try something different. He was frustrated that gaming on Linux requires "so much fiddling" (the kids today truly have no idea). So he tried installing windows, and that went about as well as you could expect (I did try to warn him, but he had to see for himself). So, he's ready to reinstall Linux, and I suggested trying a gaming distro just so he doesn't feel like it was a total waste of time.
Chiming in to agree; they get even better.
I think some others here are missing the point of the question. Right now people are arguing about the fosstodon mods policy that all posts there must be in English. People are coming at it from every angle you can imagine, and maybe some you can't. It's amazing! Here on Lemmy we had our own little drama with behaw (de)federation a while ago. (How did that play out? I didn't pay close attention.)
I think OP is asking how to convey that drama of fedi culture. Not (necessarily) the technical aspects.

Marcel, the Shell with Shoes on: the wacky shit he says in the opening interview, and the completely straight way it's handled, made me realize this was just something completely different from the simple kids movie I was expecting.
