I’ve got an old win10 laptop. It’s nothing fancy in 2025, but I use it now and then while traveling, just to have a proper computer on hand. It’s time to move it over to Linux, and I have A LITTLE Linux experience. I work in software dev, so I know my way around CLI, but I don’t have much firsthard experience, other than occasionally using Kali for offsec tools. What are the distros I should be considering for a personal gaming laptop for occasional use for both gaming and occasional general use? Why?
be advised that if you’re doing dev work on Bazzite, you might have to make use of a distrobox depending on the software you use. for example, VSCode is available as a Flatpak, but if you want to use other things with it like NPM, you’ll have much less headache trying to get it to work by installing it in a distrobox.

That’s true, I forgot to mention that, thanks
Edit: Bazzite has tools for this preinstalled as well so it would be very simple to set up if needed.
