Hello,

I bought a razer blade 15 laptop a while ago, and world like to install Linux on it, mostly to play games. So, ideally I'd like a distro that can make the most use of the hardware and let me play the most games, while being the easiest to use and lowest maintenance possible. Any recommendation?

I've used a Razer Blade 16 last year and could never get the speakers to work no matter what I tried. Tested quite a few distros (Mint, Manjaro, Debian) and ultimately settled on Fedora. Didn't mind the speakers not working much since I used Bluetooth speakers/headphones mostly anyway. Other then that Fedora worked prefectly.

    I never owned this model but the ArchLinux wiki confirms that it's supported, while "it is known to have very limited bios feature and limited Linux stability".

    Can confirm that the Razer BIOS is absolutely bar bones. Never really minded that and as I said aside of the non-working speakers (apparently a known problem with Razer) it was all good.
