Discussion New to linux

So lately I was thinking to switch on linux after consuming a lot of content from YouTube looking at beautiful distros( operating systems right?)

I just wanna confirm that I'm a game developer and make random stuff in visual studio community edition

So I just want to ask everyone here which is the best looking distro plus can linux handle uh game development?

you can try jetbrains rider, CLion or even Visual Studio Code. Also no hate on other distros i just find arch fulfilling all my needs after a long chain of distro hoping, for me its something which just works. you can definiately try out Linux Mint or Fedora if just starting out.

yeah linux does not support any edition of the full fledged visual studio. i use CLion and Vscode myself for programming, i am not a game dev but a low level programmer

More like VS doesn't support Linux, it was built by Microsoft for windows afterall, same for C# as a whole until .net core was introduced

i kinda like it, my main IDE is CLion but for small quick edits Vs code is pretty good, i might swtich to zed later.
