So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don't wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don't rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

I am asking if my hardware will enable me to have a good experience since I know nvidia has issues on linux.

NVIDIA hardware is developed to run on Linux

Your post doesn't ask that.

The main text kinda does. Maybe I worded it a bid badly.

I disagree.

not by default. Your mileage may vary but I've had little to no trouble with my setup.
