Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?

I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.

He’s not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I’m not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.

I’m most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.

    This is the most accurate answer. I have found Nobara to be everything I could ask for gaming.

    I might add that, if he also wants a normal desktop experience, separate from gaming, he should consider trying Zorin or Mint.

    Iirc, Zorin comes with nvidia/amd drivers already installed and the experience is close enough to Windows that he might stay on Linux.
