I use Windows for my desktop PC but I’m also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I’m not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I’m interested in how people are gaming on Linux

    I recommend Fedora (I use the KDE Spin). I have an Nvidia Laptop, which is supposed to be the worst nightmare for Linux gaming, and Fedora handles it brilliantly. The packages are newer than you get on the Ubuntu-based distros like Mint and Pop, and it really makes a difference in performance, when it comes to graphics card drivers (plus you get Wayland and Pipewire which are great).

        If trying them all sounds like fun, go ahead! I personally love downloading a bunch of isos and poking around the live usb (pre installation) version of different distros every once in a while.

        Though honestly, if you just want to get started you can probably do anything you want on any distro. Distro choice seems to matter less and less these days.
