I’m a recent convert to Linux and went with Arch. I like minimalist stuff and Arch is right up my street in that regard. I did have issues though, games would crash when opening after there was some code change in the kernel for AMD cards a few weeks ago. It’s fixed now but surprisingly it took about two weeks to get fixed and reach my install. Life on the edge I suppose.
I did it a week ago and it was just a case of passing through the video card. I came across a lot of guides and they were all in the CLI. I assume things have improved or maybe it differs per card. I was just using onboard graphics from an N100 CPU.
