      Lol is Debian not still the “I don’t wanna fuck with this too much” distro? On the complicated spectrum, I think Debian fell pretty fairly in the approachable side :D

        It absolutely is. I don’t think it’s too popular for gaming given you’re not getting the latest and greatest by default. Arch being up top doesn’t surprise me at all. I know people who use Arch, btw.

      It was a half dozen clicks and 45 minutes from windows shutdown, to playing a modern AAA game in cachy.

      It was easier to get it running on my Nvidia laptop using the attached monitor and an external monitor at two different resolutions, and then play games, than any OS Microsoft ever made. Arch is also the distro steamos is based on.

      I’ve been running it about two years. It seemed to be the best distro with my above mentioned hardware requirements. I had planned to distro hop quite a lot, as I’m not averse to troubleshooting and cli work, but I have never had any serious issues and I can’t bring myself to mess with perfection. At least, perfect for my setup.
