Which Linux distribution would you recommend?

@AWildMimicAppears I'm on Manjaro and have Steam Games working well with Snowrunner and Red Dead Redemption 2. But Valve's Steam Deck also uses Manjaro as its distro so I figure that must be a good choice for gaming.

I suggest you pop os (it’s the one I use on my systems, for gaming too). The suggestion I can give to you is to don’t try random things you find on internet but try to understand what you are doing exactly to your system, and for most of the stuff you don’t need to mess around (I never did something “strange” in two years since I fully switched to Linux).

i was out of my depth when i needed x86 support on my x64 system for something, and somewhere along the line i landed in dependency hell ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and the first time i just failed installing graphics drivers for an iGPU, but i worked that out later on, so at least i know i am able to learn :-)
i will take a look at it, thanks for the suggestion!

You cant go wrong with Linux Mint. But if you want a distro that is very up to date but not bleeding edge like Arch then Fedora is a good one. Fedora is what i use myself.
