Hey!

Windows 11 gamer here, I basically only use my new PC desktop for gaming. Using Nvidia. Right now playing mostly GW2 and CK2.

I just started fiddling around with Linux a few weeks ago. I tried Linux Mint but had problems with CK2 recognizing my Nvidia card despite installing the driver. So I moved over to Ubuntu. CK2 is now working perfectly, but GW2 is stuttering whenever I move my mouse, making it not playable. I’m running it as a non Steam game on Steam.

Which distro would you recommend for me? I’m thinking about Bazzite (but maybe it’s mostly for handheld games?) or Pop_OS? Fedora? Or can I maybe fix GW2 on Ubuntu somehow?

All the different distros is making this a bit overwhelming 😅

    Welcome!

    I assume CK2 is Crusader Kings 2? If so, it already has a Linux native build. For Guild Wars 2, you can download it from Steam and use you own credentials on the launcher and play like that. It would be easier that way.

    For different distros, it doesn’t actually matter that much. Just pick one you like and delve into it. You may want to change it when you learn more about Linux, but that’s for some time later.
