I have used Zorin for the past year for gaming. It’s been mostly fine, but they are a bit slow to upgrade certain things in the interest of stability. Zorin is on a two year cycle for major releases, which can mean waiting awhile for certain package upgrades. This is probably for the best for non-gamers and regular users, but some games I wanted to play required the latest graphics driver, which in turn required some newer dependencies in the OS.

Lately, I’ve been kinda toying with the idea of switching to Bazzite because every time I tinker with the graphics driver in Zorin, I break it. Additionally, sometimes some random package upgrade breaks things. I eventually get it working, but it is never fun to login for the night planning to play with a friend and then need to instead fix an issue. I’m thinking Bazzite might be a bit more suited for my gaming use cases given that it’s their priority. I don’t know for sure though. I could really care less about the OS and have no ego about doing things myself. Fuck Windows, but beyond that, I just want a zero maintenance OS that lets me game.
