  • TLDR: You don’t need a rolling release distro like Arch or its derivatives or any “gaming” distro for gaming anymore.

    Many experiments have shown that these distros specifically “made for gaming” have no real advantages. If your friend is a beginner, I would absolutely not recommend Arch Linux, but rather Linux Mint. I have recently found this experiment: https://youtu.be/UtXw9on6qs4 (table at the end of the video) that supports this recommendation.
