Hey all,

A friend has expressed disgust with windows 11 and a desire to put linux on their new gaming tower, and asked for some help. I recommended cachy, bazzite, and nobara as distros to look into, but as i barely game and dont game on linux, i wanted to ask for some advice. Ive already told them about the kernel-level anticheat issue, but tbh i dont have a good understanding of linux gaming beyond a high level overview. What are the things i should be looking up and information i should be looking for to understand how to help them get everything set up right? I understand gpu drivers can be an issue, but i havent done gpu driver troubleshooting in years. My main experience of learning things about linux is manpages and info files and reading mailing lists and archforums/wiki (i dont use arch btw).

What would be the best way for me to educate myself in order to help them?
