For gaming or regular use? I’ve tried both Bazzite and CachyOS on my gaming laptop. Even if I wasn’t a tinkerer I would choose CachyOS any day for gaming. Mint over Ubuntu for regular use. My 2 cents
You certainly can and I have several distros, but Cachy seems to be well suited with gaming. I am very sure I could tweak Mint to be comparable, but out of the box Cachy is a better gamer. One or two clicks and it’s all set.
Is it the same on Mint? It isn’t for me. On Cachy, the welcome screen has a pick for Apps/Tweaks, then “Install gaming packages”. That’s the difference.
Mint has a welcome screen, but it is very generic. Driver manager, software manager, etc. Sure you can install everything to make it work fine, but Cachy leads you straight into it with that one click and you are gaming within two minutes of OS load. Mint will take a bit longer. And I think it removes some of the package guesswork as well, especially for new users.
Would you like any help picking a distro?
Any criteria? If newbie, there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint. If experienced, still there is nothing wrong with Linux Mint.
Edit: Oh dang, you were offering help. Thanks, I’m good. Could be useful for anyone who seeks help though.

You can game just fine on any distribution.

But it’s the same on Mint. I don’t get it, What are the particular advantages of Cachy?

Immediately after installing the OS, I installed the proprietary version of the video card driver (two clicks), and that’s all.
