My LMDE VM has been excellent for several years now. My laptop with Bazzite that I set up to test out the gaming side of things has also worked well, but that’s only been in use for a few weeks now and I still have a lot of niche stuff to test out before I can really recommend it. As a baseline just being able to play games there’ve been no issues just running the games I tried.

Define “decent”.
I tend to recommend Linux Mint, it’s pretty easy to grasp for noobs (i’ve installed on two of my family’s laptops, no complaints). Zorin OS also seems nice.hOrni@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I don’t know, I don’t know much about hardware. A gaming laptop from 5 years ago. Still usable today, ran windows 11. I only upgraded because I flooded the keyboard and it stopped working.

You can “flash” the installer file on a USB drive and boot from it to test it out without installing (it’ll be slower though).

Linux Mint if you want something nice and easy out of box.
Fedora if you feel like taking the plunge
Bazzite if you want Fedora’s advantages for gaming but don’t want to mess with a conventional Linux install (kinda more like Android, lots of guardrails)
