Most people who just have a PC don’t have a DGPU, for those who do the built in open source driver is good enough for 99% of use cases. People heavily exaggerate how much you need the proprietary drivers and you can always install them later if you really want (its not needed in the vast majority of cases to get it booting).

I don’t want to reccomend fedora since you need to add your own nvidia drivers. I’m looking to move to bazzite or endevourOS myself. Bazzite seems to be super easy to install and “gaming os” just seems to mean “its linux but steam and nvidia repo is preinstalled”

Tons of people game and those usually always have a nvidia gpu. Might as well get a linux with the drivers preinstalled otherwise your first half hour of linux use will be honestly a bit daunting looking rpmfusion.org and terminal.

No I mean genuenly you dont need then, maybe they preform better but strictly speaking proprietary drivers arent nessesary. You could just as easily not install them and the vast majority of people wont notice the 5% performance penalty.

Without rpmfusion drivers my games become slideshows.
