So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don’t wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don’t rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

    since you already have experience with fedora, you might wanna look at nobara, which has an nvidia-specific installer available. i’m running it a bit longer than 7 months now, and don’t have any issues with it, and i have a pretty similar hardware config to you (a ryzen 5 instead of a 7, and a 3070 Ti instead of the normal one)

    I also run a windows 10 VM, mainly for stubborn installers from cracked games that won’t run correctly under wine and for my mouse/keyboard software (they have onboard profiles, so i pass them through to the vm to configure)
