Hey guys,

after a few months back on Windows 11 (mostly because of my CPU) i want to migrate again to Linux. With my old setup i used Linux Mint, but i know that some packages are really old and i needed to tinker a lot of things. I liked it a lot but im just thinking about to try out OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Because of a lot of things - KDE, Wayland etc. Do you have any experience with Tumbleweed and Gaming and is there maybe a recent recommendation how-to to set this up? What would be also great is Secure Boot - i read a few things that it is possible with OpenSuse Tumbleweed but do you guys have experience with it? I'm also open for other OS recommandations :) My CPU is a R9 7950X3D and my GPU is a Radeon RX 6950 XT And i have a AIO with a LCD Display (NZXT Kraken 280 RGB).

Thank you for your help :)

Install proton-up flatpak, install steam,lutris/heroic, whatever you want to use for the other stores. That has worked for me on any distro.

Try open-RGB for RGB control.

Your hardware isn't bleeding edge, so older packages aren't really that much of an issue unless you suffer from FOMO or just have to have that 1.1.2 feature, which case I found Flatpak delivers a fair amount of up-to-date apps.

The LCD display might need a Windows VM just to jump into when you want to manage that or look into opencorsairlink: https://github.com/audiohacked/OpenCorsairLink
