      Fedora is not Debian based, but an upstream or ‘sidestream’ distribution of CentOS, based on the RPM package manager.

      I’d say basically any distribution is a good starting point. Eventually after distrohopping you’ll settle on one or two distributions which work for you.

      I have Debian on my servers, Arch on my desktop (for games) and Fedora on my laptop.

          I know perfectly Fedora is not Debian

          Okay, but

          I don’t see anything special on Fedora or any other Debian based distros

          makes it sound like Fedora is one of the Debian based distributions, which is why I wanted to make that clear for others.

      The steam deck uses arch, not Manjaro (although Manjaro is based off arch). But ultimately it doesn’t matter too much what distro you use for gaming.

      Arch is a weird recommendation for beginners, even with the better install process. The aur is nice but isn’t necessary imo. Fedora works fine, or I’d recommend mint for something a bit more “stable.” I’ve been using both for a while with minimal issues.
