>>60130281
I wanted to say that people who call themselves "gamers" would use Windows, but then I saw >>60130320

Funtoo. It's built on top of gentoo but its user friendly. It has the best game support, hence the name "fun"too. I have yet to try a Windows game that did not work on funtoo.

>still playing vidya
What are you, 12?

Can't you play games at like 90% the speed they would run on native Windows if you just use a Windows virtual machine with PCI-passthrough enabled?

>>60130281
Use whatever.

As long as you have working drivers for your card it doesn't matter.

I was playing wc3 and eve online and zero-k and stuff on Linux before you could run steam. Figures it's not worse now.

That said, Windows is alive because games still support it better, so maybe just use that for games with some retardedly power hungry GPU and run a power efficient server for your 24/7 private data and work needs.

It does, i.e. steam uses ancient ubuntu 12.04 runtime and if you try to use the native runtime of a distro with modern packages shit will keep failing to launch or crashing.

GNU/Windows

>>60132236
There's still the option of not using Steam

Ubuntu. You need a stable and well supported platform, steam is officially supported on it and you have a driver PPA that's updated well enough. For windows games just grab PlayOnLinux and use their staging precompiled wine versions, plus it's generally useful as a Wine management GUI. I've been a Linux gamer since like 2008, things are going pretty well. Just waiting for that DX11 support.

/g/ is dead

I used to play counter strike just fine on debian.

>>60130281
I use KDE Neon. But Ubuntu unity/GNOME would be a better choice since KDE is kinda buggy. I can't open Awesomenauts on it, for example.

I have Ubuntu 17.04 on my desktop rig, though literally any distro will do. As long as steam is available through a repo. Be it community or official.

If the Windows Kernel was used for GNU software wouldn't it be GNU/NT? ReactOS might let that happen, but only for retards actually willing to use it.

>>60136649
Well, actually, Windows Subsystem for Linux is a reverse engineered clean room implementation of Linux Subsystem calls for the NT kernel. NT still handles Linux functions, so I guess that's a working implementation of GNU/NT.

Gentoo here.

I think you can use pretty much any distro. Most stuff will run fine on anything. I even use a tiling WM and don't complain. Steam behaves (mostly) fine.

I use Ubuntu but I am really getting sick of some of the stupid decisions the Gnome project devs are making with simple things like the Files sorting and displaying simple stuff like AN EXACT DATE and not "2 hours ago", "2 days ago", etc.

It's like smartphone stupidity has invaded GNOME.
