I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

    Thanks! I should note, I did use Ubuntu for a few years quite a while ago, so not quite a beginner but still gonna have to relearn a lot of things.

      In that case, Pop!_OS might be a good option to try. It’s built on Ubuntu and doesn’t have snapd garbage on it. I’ve been using it as a daily driver for 2 years now and I’ve had zero problems.

          Mint is an awesome option too. For me it came down to the UI as the primary decision factor. I prefer MacOS aesthetics to Windows.

          There are a host of other issues I have with how Microsoft (and Apple!!) do things, and really, the GUI is the least of those problems. But it is also the most obvious problem because I’m looking at it all day at work.
