  • If you’re asking this question at all, I’d say you’re probably not ready for a minimal installation without a desktop environment but it’s totally possible.

    I’d recommend just going with a normal distro and installing a desktop environment from the get-go as that will be the easiest way to get Linux set up.

















  • I don’t know anything about Mod Organizer but I’ll take a crack at the ones I actually know something about.

    1. My main computer is a laptop with an Nvidia GPU and the only big issue I have with Wayland is that the HDMI interface doesn’t work. However, this is probably just an issue with my individual card because I’ve heard that newer cards tend to be better and mine is over 11 years old. For drivers, most distros have an automatic driver install process in the software manager. If your card is fairly new, it should work just fine.
    2. For the foreseeable future, the Plasma spin of Fedora (I don’t read up on the GNOME see much) will allow you to use the Xorg or Wayland sessions as you see fit. All it takes is for you to log out, switch the session, and log back in.
    3. Proton works just fine on Fedora. In fact, Nobara (a prominent gaming-focused distro) is built on Fedora.
    4. As long as Steam has the necessary permissions in your permission manager it should work fine. I run Steam as a Flatpak and I haven’t run into any issues because of it (yet).
    5. The anti-cheat question is a bit tougher. Some games work just fine but others just don’t. I would recommend that you check each of your games for anti-cheat compatibility before fully committing. If you have your heart set on playing League of Legends or Valorant, for example, you’re unfortunately going to need Windows.

    I hope this info helps. Please feel free to ask for more clarification!
