Gaming on Linux

Fair enough. I've always run the shorter term releases myself, generally updating in place but doing a clean install every couple of years. They've always been fine for me. But I'm not using it as my main/work OS, and I also don't run mainstream Ubuntu as I am KDE all the way!

Yeah, that’s the other thing that drew me to Fedora was for KDE which does look like it has benefits in a lot of areas

I really like the KDE suite: lots of innovation happened there that has come into other environments and even Windows in the years since I started using it (I think my first Kubuntu install was 8.04...)

Do you game on Kubuntu?

I sometimes play the one PC game I play, which is Trackmania, and which works great. But I have an old-ish GPU now and it's also an old game, so I'm not a very useful example.

Do you dual boot windows at all?

Just wondering what best practice is, first install windows then Linux or vice versa?

I have separate SSDs because I can't be bothered with the faff of partitioning. I have the Linux drive as the primary boot drive, and then Grub has both the OSs as options. Whether that's best practice, I haven't a clue: it just works for me.

That’s how I did it with Ubuntu attempt, was a good workaround I thought, avoided any complexity
