Lately I’ve been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I’ve tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don’t know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.
I used to like Manjaro but they way they handled the recent pacman changes were so terrible that I no linger recommend it. It still has a great GUI and I think other arch based distros could learn from.
Manjaro,
benefits of Arch,
while being gamer ready,
easier to use and more stable.
It also has a GUI to manage your graphics drivers.

Go see for yourself,
don’t knock it till you tried it.
