    Are there distros that are actually unsuitable for gaming, besides ones that are designed to be CLI-only or specific to antediluvian hardware?

    I feel like gaming-specific distros just include stuff that you could otherwise just manually add to any other distro and make it suitable.

      Bit of misinformation on this thread, but generally the only thing that can actually get in the way of someone dedicated enough will be compatibility and security systems.

      You probably won’t have any luck getting nvidia drivers on android for example, nor take the time to back port those drivers to an outdated kernel.

      I suppose you could also have an OS that takes most your system resources for non-gaming tasks, making games unplayable. Something like nixos is non-gaming centric and could reasonably be more optimised than bazzite, less background processes making games actually run better on it.
