From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know the "best linux for gaming" is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

I hope am not too late for this. If you’re looking for a consolized PC experience with Steam and all of its quality of life features, check out ChimeraOS.

It is based on SteamOS3 and adds a lot of extra features such as GOG and EGS integrations and built in emulators.

It also has a desktop mode for a full featured Linux experience. Keep in mind it’s an immutable distro.

Also, it uses Arch btw. Sorry just wanted to say it for such a long time now 🤣
