      Exactly…

      1. Does your package manager (apt/yum/portage/etc) install the correct gpu drivers?
      2. Does the package manager install steam + dependencies?

      If yes to both, you have a gaming distro

    I wouldn’t really consider any specific distro as being the best for gaming. As long as it provides an up to date kernel and libraries, it will work well. Just don’t use a DE that takes up a lot of VRAM or GPU power.

    Instead of Manjaro, I’d recommend EndeavourOS which does basically the same thing but doesn’t have the history of being dodgy and unprofessional.

    That’s the same list we see years after years… They didn’t even bother to add Nobara, which is probably, one of the few “gamer distro” that include that many useful patches for gaming…

    Without copying and pasting what’s on every linux websites for the past 10 years with only changing the year and talking from personal experience i get great results on fedora silverblue.
