I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

Pretty much any distro will work for gaming these days. Really up to personal preference. I use Arch but have heard good things about Pop!_OS.

    I was on pop for a while! It was cool.

    Why does the pop shop suck though? Why?? Why is it so slow, why does it crash so much? Why is this such a problem with so many users? It wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back, it was more like an unnecessary brick the camel had to carry.

    The pop shop is ass, but you can install the cosmic store and it works wonderfully (cosmic is the DE in development by system76).

    Unfortunately I already left Pop! for Fedora when I updated my GPU. I needed something with an updated kernel anyways and Fedora played nice with it out of the box.

    But man, I still am surprised when I open up software and it just... loads with no issue.
