Hey guys,
I've been using Fedora with KDE plasma on my professional laptop where I mostly code and work on nerdy tech projects. I loved it so much that I decided to use the same distro for my gaming desktop (Nvidia RTX 4080), and I believe I made a big mistake.
Just getting steam to even launch was such a massive pain in the ass it almost completely turned me off from Linux gaming. I liked the tinkering aspect of fedora, and trying to get things working was fun but I don't want to deal with the same hassle on my leisure pc when I just want to game. I really committed to moving away from windows so I don't want to give up just yet.
I know Bazzite is normally recommended for gaming, but I don't like the atomic nature of it, and while I do mostly want to use my desktop for gaming, I would also like to do some professional work on there occasionally (80:20 split). I'm not sure if there is a perfect distro for my needs, but I'm open to any suggestions.
