Same. I just gotta figure out what distro I want to run. Nobara, Bazzite, Mint, Zorin, Kubuntu, idk. I get analysis paralysis. I’ve run Ubuntu, Fedora, and even tried Arch once, but it’s been a long while since I’ve been full Linux. I’m definitely done with Windows tho (at least outside of work, but I can’t control that).

I'm using Garuda and it has a setup specifically for gaming. The gamer look it comes with out of the box is ugly in my opinion, but that's easy to change.I highly recommend it. It's Arch based, so the AUR and Arch wiki work great with it. It's really great and (in my opinion) user friendly.

Awesome, thank you for the recommendation! I've been wanting to try out Arch on my laptop but I don't have as much time on my hands as I used to. Have been reading that POP OS is good for gaming but I will definitely do some reading on Garuda.

Garuda is great because it comes with a tool where you can select a bunch of packages you may need (but also most won't, so it's not built in), then it'll install them for you. You don't need to search for what you'll need because they're listed with a description for you right on the first boot. It makes it very quick and easy to get set up, while still being Arch underneath.
