Streamers! If you're considering switching to Linux, be careful choosing Linux Mint!

Mint is based on a 2-year release cycle, so your software will sometimes be 2 years out of date.

It might be stable, but you will miss out on new features. Not great for a fast-moving world like streaming!

There's nothing wrong with Mint, and the stability and slower-paced upgrades are just right for some people, but it's probably not what you want if you're streaming.

I personally recommend Fedora, which has a 6-month release cycle, but there are many other options too. Nobara is a Fedora variant aimed at gaming that makes it easier to set up. I recommend the KDE version!

RE: vt.social/@lina/11609510147010

If you're wondering what distro to choose, I keep hearing good things about Nobara, which is a Fedora derivative focusing on gaming out of the box. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I can vouch for the Fedora base it's built on.

I personally recommend the KDE edition!
