Bazzite for gaming no question, thing just works, I can use Linux fine, and very competent in windows also, but with gaming I just want a system I turn on and play, not faff with, I have been using Bazzite almost since it's beginnings, and am legitimately shocked at how turn key they have that distro for its use case.

    Do you have an AMD gpu? I'm running Nvidia GPU using windows 11 and I'm hesitant because I've heard people say that Nvidia poses problems.

    Is it a newer Nvidia GPU? If so I believe it pretty much works the same these days. It was mostly the older Nvidia GPUs that seemed to have a lot of problems.

    Yeah, it's a 40 series GPU, so pretty new. That's encouraging. Maybe I will try dual booting first.

    Yeah that should be completely fine then. Try dual boot, if you don't have any issues you can always go 100% Linux at some point in the future and in the meantime the old Windows partition can provide some amount of reassurance if something does go wrong.

    agreeing with orclev - i setup an older nvidia gpu pc on linux mint and that pc has to have all other applications closed to play minecraft when it used to handle youtube video or actual video running and maybe an antivirus scan in the background and minecraft on top fine in windows.

    GPU is running (as opposed to when the driver failed to load haha) but some kind of processing is still on CPU, i tracked down the problem but the point where i figured out i need to keep up with the latest vaapi and compile it to just diagnose it i stopped and told the kids how to quit other programs first before minecraft. or bloons.

    edit: found my problem. mission center randomly spikes in cpu and memory use and gets to 99% in both......and i'm constantly running it. now i bask in swap utilization 0% forever and ever
