How's that fairing? I'll be switching once the last few games I care about get support, but as someone new to Linux with a NVIDIA card I'm feeling a little lost.

Lemmy likes to say Nobara is great for gaming but Mint is great for newcomers, and I really don't want to have to come home and tinker with my PC after work.

I did the install yesterday, I'll know in time. I'm not the most extreme gamer, I am not interested in competitive gaming or bleeding edge tech spec games. I think that's where you see the most backlash to Linux for gaming. I will definitely be chiming in with my experience here on Lemmy.
