The best Linux distributions for gaming in 2026

All the big ones are very polished these days. I do have a soft spot for fedora, but like a rolling release so I default to opensuse for family computers that I maintain. Tumbleweed has been bulletproof for me, reliably updating though many hardware changes, recently new motherboard and processor(amd of-course :) ). I have tried moving some over to opensuse kalpa, and that's going well - though they aren't a gamers.
I haven’t used ubuntu based for a long time now but I’m sure they are still great for gaming too.
Going to put endevouros on my ancient laptop, that comes out once in a blue moon to troubleshoot broadband problems, but my main machine is arch of-course :)

Thanks for all your effort this year Liam, this is still my favorite place on the internet. Looking forward to the return of the forums. Next year is shaping up nicely for linux gaming, I am particularly looking forward to the release of the Steam Frame - I hope that it won't be too hard on my wallet.
Happy Christmas and New Year to all.

I know I'm late, but very happy to hear this news.

I am hoping they are also planning another vr release. HL Alyx has been fantastic but it is time for a new release to go with the new hardware.

Long live Valve's love for linux. :)

Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

Completed Half-life 2, HL2-episode 1 and half way through episode 2. All in VR, it works incredibly well and is a fantastic experience.

I just don't see how anyone would want to 'buy' their games again on yet another platform.
