I’m planning to rebuild my gaming PC (Specs so far: Ryzen 5 7600, B650 chipset, RTX 3060, Dan Case A4).
Yet, I’m not sure which OS it will be. Important features will most probably be:
- low latency kernel
- decent hardware support (GPU driver should support the kernel without the need of compiling everything manually)
- modern looks, rather than a 2003-style xfce configuration
- still having the freedom to modify and install anything I want


+1 for Pop_OS. They also have a version with Nvidia driver support out of the box. Their UI is also a fantastic edited version of GNOME, so it’s sleek and easy to use
+2 for pop os
I thought Ubuntu was the best distro to get started as a gamer but it required so much tinkering. Pop like mentioned had Nvidia installed and with flatpak integration it just made everything honestly fun again
