This again: What distro are you using for gaming? (self.linux)

Yes this has been asked and answered a million times I’m sure. There is a plethora of ‘top ten distros for Linux gaming’ lists out there and the majority of posts I can find on That Other Site seem to devolve into “every distro can do games”.

I’m interested in what you are using and your experience doing so. Any gotchas you wished you knew? Anything you tried that didn’t work, or anything that worked unexpectedly well? What would you say if your friend asked this over a few pints down the pub?

Worried about the Red Hat nonsense at all? I’m not super plugged into the news on it all.

The way it was explained to me was Fedora = RHEL Alpha, CentOS Stream = RHEL Beta, RHEL is Stable, then there are downstreams who build against RHEL. Only those who are downstream of REHL are effected by the changes. Both Fedora and Cent are necessary development platforms to support everything that eventually makes it down to RHEL in stable condition. They both depend on RHEL for funding, but RHEL depends on them for testing.

Makes sense, so only downstream should be affected (if it even ever is). There will be other people who will find these projects I’d bet if it ever comes to it

It's a healthy setup with Fedora, Red Hat are incentivised to support Fedora by their business model, they could be the most evil company in the world (which they're not) but it's incentives that matter. That would only change if Red Hat completely change their business model, pissing off some downstream distributors isn't a blip on the radar.
