Hell, it’s often faster on Linux than windows. Microslop even said they are going to make windows as fast as Linux in terms of gaming

Fun fact: someone actually released an update to hml and is now actively maintained

How powerful is your rig? If it’s reasonable and not 1k years old, you could go with any. I’m quite partial to cosmic, but kde is also good. If you feel like tinkering, gnome can be made usable with extensions.

But yeah, cosmic is great. Xfce is good for low end rigs.

DE, not distro. I’m gonna go and guess it was the default.

I read through the comments, and didn’t see what DE you chose, so I’m just wondering which DE you chose?
