I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

    Can’t do a lot wrong with Linux mint I suppose. Stable software so support should be good, cinnamon doesn’t have too much fancy stuff that would use up ressources iirc.

    It’s my top recommendation for beginners, might switch back to it some time.

      Thanks! I should note, I did use Ubuntu for a few years quite a while ago, so not quite a beginner but still gonna have to relearn a lot of things.

        In that case, Pop!_OS might be a good option to try. It’s built on Ubuntu and doesn’t have snapd garbage on it. I’ve been using it as a daily driver for 2 years now and I’ve had zero problems.
