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 haven't used it, but https://nobaraproject.org/ aims to be a great gaming distro. I personally use EndeavourOS (Arch based) and have found being an up to date rolling release to be pretty useful and I've seen games run better over months of updates. For example Cyberpunk 2077 ran terribly when other titles ran well. But there's been updates recently and now it's doubled the frame rate to a playable level.
