My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

    I would personally go for Nobara. It's also a gaming-oriented distro but it's made by the guy that does ProtonGE and WineGE, some of the best tools for gaming.

      Honestly, I wouldn't use a distro that's maintained by a single person.

      I say, using an Android System that's maintained by a single person.

      You know what, go ahead, Nobara looks good.

    I use Garuda, haven't really had any issues with it so far. This is on a relatively high-spec desktop though, so can't speak with confidence of laptop performance. It is arch based with a light install, and you can easily install/uninstall many popular packages by checking them on/off on a selection screen, so I'd imagine it'd still be good performance.

    Only issue I've had was the time it became unbootable after I tried to change the system font so, uh, I recommend avoiding that.

    Well, You hopping directly to arch based distro but why? I know Garuda is stable than arch and made for gaming stuff but still. If you already made your mind to install Garuda then never mind whenever got a problem just post here.

      I already used Manjaro before, so I liked rolling distro (I have a server with ubuntu that I am realling postponing to update because it might break).

      Although many people are telling me to go with Pop OS instead. I don't know, I might change in the future.

      The experience with the live image was most worse versus installed. I don't know why, but the live USB didn't recognized my 2nd monitor, so I went ahead and installed it and everything worked great so far.
