I would personally recommend the base distros and I am a big fan of Fedora myself. Has been rock solid for the last 4 years or so. Although you’ll have to choose a desktop environment as well. I use gnome, which imo just looks and feels really good, although it’s not as easy to customise. You can also pick KDE, which looks more like windows by default but you have so many settings it’s a bit too much imo.
You can always change the desktop later if you really want to, so pick whatever you think you’ll like best
Just pick one and have fun. You can install pretty much any software you want on any distro, “gaming focused” just means some stuff comes preinstalled/preconfigured.
The process to get gaming on pretty much every distro is:
Install OS
Install Steam and Heroic
Download and play games
Your experience will be very similar on whatever distro you choose.
I recommend Mint or Fedora for new users, mostly because they’re popular so getting help should be easy. I personally use openSUSE Tumbleweed though, which is also fantastic.
Have a spare hard drive I use to test different ones like Ubuntu, mint and the like, but it’s good to know that some gaming focused ones exist
(Any one you recomend for a semi new Linux user other then this one?€
