I currently use Linux Mint with Cinnamon which is fine. Ive been using it since early December. I had (and still have) some small issues, most of which Ive fixed.
I recently got a new GPU (a 9070 XT) and Im running a similarly cutting-edge CPU. In general, my whole desktop is made up of fairly new hardware.
So my question is: is there anything that speaks against switching to Fedora with KDE? That distro seems like it would make better use of modern hardware and be more “cutting-edge.” As I said, Mint is fine, but it seems rather slow when it comes to adopting modern technologies by comparison at least from a novices perspective.
As a disclaimer one of my best friends recommended I try it out (He has been using Fedora for years ) he also works in IT so should something go wrong I have someone a phone call away that could help me.
Main purpose of this machine is gaming
What’s the deal with Bazzite? Not trying to start a flame war but I’m always skeptical of an OS that is “for gamers” - I want an OS that is built for getting my work done and browsing the web safely & securely, not a gaming console.
I think the Fedora Atomic Desktops are a wiser choice personally (which Bazzite is based on)

What would I gain from taking Bazzite over Fedora with KDE ? One thing im a lil bit worried about is longterm support. A “gaming” distro sounds like a good idea on paper for a dirty gamer like me.

Damn you for making me indecisive :^)

Oki. I will consider Bazzite or Fedora . I will switch from Mint probably this weekend. Might make an after action report 2 weeks later or soemthing (Thanks for your input)
OK. I guess 9to5 is switching to Bazzite this weekend.
