From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora Kinoite. I like KDE, atomic distros and the fact that Fedora is the only (at least that I know of) distro that has proper SELinux implementation.
I also play games on this system, so having newer kernel and Mesa versions help.
I guess I'm that guy in this thread constantly bringing up his current distro of choice lol... But have you tried Bazzite? From what I understand it's basically Kinoite but built with gaming in mind.
If you have, I'd be curious as to what differences there were between it and Kinoite...
I have tried Bazzite before and understand its appeal. I am an ex-Arch user so I prefer the system to be as minimal as possible. Fedora fits my requirements just right and Bazzite does not seem to bring anything to the table that I miss from Fedora.
AFAIK, openSUSE Aeon(/Kalpa) does as well*.
