Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (lemmy.ca)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

If this ever happens to you again, you can try doing ctrl + alt + < F1 - F12>. That will bring up different screens/terminals and its so baked into linux it might have still worked even in that broken state. Still bonkers the installer didn't accept keyboars info though. Its ironic because so much of my linux experience has been about reducing mouse/touchpad use.

It didn't work. I tried so many different options. I got to the point where I was facerolling the keyboard with all sorts of different options.

This is something acknowledged by Fedora devs: It's not my imagination.
