I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.
Sparkylinux is a distro based on Debian Testing, which is good on older configs. I used it wuite a lot ten years ago, without issues.
They provide a “game over” edition, which has Steam and a lot of other games related applications preconfigured, so you should have a look.
