Hey, I have a pc that I would like to install light Linux distribution on but I don’t want to do it because my computer has weak parts but because I want to save up on space and make pc focus so it could stream games that would be installed on it and then I could simply stream games from it instead of downloading them on different devices. Would anyone have any recommendations for said distro?

    should be fairly simple with any distro. personally, id recommend mint or something for ease of use. install steam, and you can use steam link for android (chromecast, roku, firestick, mobile), or steam link for linux (raspberry pi etc). steam has built in compatibility for windows games running on linux, and a built in streaming setup. a bit of an all-in-one solution.

    you can try a steamdeck-like distro as others have suggested, but they may be less easy to learn on if youre not too familiar with linux already.

    keep in mind nvidia drivers are a sore spot in linux, so if possible try to use an amd graphics card.
