I'm going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I'm an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch... is it better for gaming since it's bleeding edge and isn't steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

Anything popular enough that you can easily google any issues you need to troubleshoot. Beyond that it truly doesn't matter.

Well, one could make the argument about driver support.

My first and current distro is Pop_OS and it’s been a bit of a pain in the ass. I need to run terminal commands to get Bluetooth to work, Rocksmith is a lost cause, my display signal dies randomly, forcing a restart.

Thinking about Bazzite, but read this article and maybe Ubuntu is just easier, for now?

(Nvidia gpu giving me pause over which will support it better)
