Ask HN: Best distro for me? tired of windows10 toxic abusive interface
tired of windows 10 abusive toxic interface is their a linux distro that treats me like a queen and lets me play gta v/valorant/overwatch 2 and code (vs code) sculpt blender and run a virtual machine for programs built for macos or windows only ::::
- Cilvic 2y agoAs a long time windows guy, I'm quite happy with fedora (wayland gnome) since last year. Valorant won't run on any linux AFAIK because of vanguard anticheat.

- talldayo 2y agoRiot Games doesn't commit to Linux support anymore. There used to be ways to play League of Legends on Linux, but that's broken now. The other big broken titles (currently) are Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2 and PUBG: https://www.protondb.com/explore?sort=playerCount https://www.protondb.com/explore?sort=playerCount That being said, pretty much everything else works fine. Running GTA V Online, Overwatch 2, and the majority of popular Steam games should be as easy as clicking "Play". Do your research before committing to the switch, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the game compatibility these days.
- margorczynski 2y agoAs for game support you would need to check on proton/wine about how well it works. In general a good all-around distro would be Mint, Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS or Fedora (if you like more bleeding edge but more unstable).
- sinuhe69 2y agoWindows 7 is also an alternative. If you patch then and run browsers sandboxed, you should be fine.
- JojoFatsani 2y agoDual boot Linux for productivity and Wintendo for gaming

- LopovJack 2y agoLinux Mint is a king of consistency. At the top 5 for many years. Best first distro imo. Tried many but always went back to it.
