So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don't wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don't rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

Have you tried the newest release? It seems to be more PS leaning, at least that's what I hear from PS experts.

I last tried it like a year ago.

Didn't try it but FYI maybe PhotoGIMP could make GIMP usable for you!
