Yes. RebornOS is general purpose. You can use it for anything that you can use Arch Linux for, since RebornOS is based on Arch Linux. ---

We don’t have any gaming-specific optimizations. There are other distros which do those. We do provide an option to select gaming related packages in the installer on the Advanced screen. Whether you should use this distro for gaming or not depends on your familiarity with tweaking things on Linux. What are some games you are interested in playing? ---

Not all games from Steam will run on Linux. For each game you want to play, please search the name of the game on [protondb.com](https://protondb.com) and on the page for that game, verify that the game is compatible. However, if the game is known to run on Linux, it will run on RebornOS. ---

Yes ([Arch Linux - wine 9.8-2 (x86\_64)](https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/wine/)). The advantage of Arch Linux (and hence also RebornOS) is that you almost always (with some exceptions) get the latest release versions. ---

Unless you have very old hardware, they should give similar performance, even though technically lighter desktop environments like Xfce should result in more available resources. However I recommend choosing desktop environments based on what you like using (try them out on a VM) because a desktop environment is what one spends a lot of time on while using the computer.
