    I would say aesthetically always preferred gnome but my laptop which is pretty low end ran slow on it. Kde is in that ballpark for my laptop in terms slowdowns but for the most part it floated through. That was when I used like manjaro.

    But I moved on to antix for stability. It has icewm that they configured for the distro. I loved it.

    Due to some hardware issue I tested out other distros to see if it was hardware issue or not. Currently my laptop has gnome on it I think.













  • I have an old lenovo laptop (notebook). I used to dual boot Ubuntu and later manjaro. I gamed on both albeit having not so strong graphics.

    I played classic shooters, open world games like saints row or gta iv, dark souls, NFS and more. They ran with lutris which is helpful with proton and wine. I would say games run pretty fine with these but one has to read on wine website or elsewhere to set up properly with some games.

    And again the harder games to set up are in my experience older games from 90s which were for win 98 or xp. Like captain claw.

    Overall I would say most flagship distros can run games after basic setup.
