I guess Fedora is ideal for gaming? But otherwise, is there a reason to use it rather than starting with Ubuntu and just install your own cutting edge features as you choose your own upgrade cycle? (Just the fact that they are all bundled together I suppose?)

Debian tends to be a liiiiitle bit behind Fedora and because gaming on Linux is accelerating in popularity, being ahead can provide big gains in performance.

Can you manually handle all of that? Sure. I mean I have Mint on my side desktop with a custom Kernel but I recognize that I am dropping a V8 into a Mini Van.

I just spent yesterday fucking up an nVidia driver upgrade in Ubuntu for no appreciable improvement in transition freezing in the Dead Space remake.

Yes it’s ideal for gaming, for that reason valve has chosen arch. 🙃 There are reasons one of them it’s the desktop distro as far as developers go. Not only gnome, but kde as well. Fedora is great.

Tap for spoiler

almost as good as arch

Bazzite is built from Fedora and is phenomenal for gaming

I’m ride-or-die Debian, but I switch to Fedora when I need a more recent package set.

I do so to avoid Ubuntu/Snaps, which contains some closed proprietary bullshit, which I personally find to be a pain in the ass.

That’s a good point that we don’t have to be locked into just one. Do you dual boot that? VM one inside another? Or probably you mean on different hardware?

Yeah. Usually different hardware, sometimes just virtualization.

Thanks to the open container initiative (OCI), I haven’t been tempted to dual boot in a several years.
