Look at ProtonDB to see what games you own will run on Linux.
Pop OS: is a good Ubuntu based distro.
The Nobara Project: is a Fedora based gaming distro.
Drauger OS: is another good gaming specific distro.
Each of these has their own pros and cons depending on your needs and hardware. Google is your best friends here. You will have issues with a game not working like you want. Again Google will be your best friend here.
My biggest suggestion is to embrace the challenges. Understand that in the last two years alone gaming on Linux has improved dramatically. Stay with it Linux is always maybe a better experience overall even if some of our games don't work right now.
With Redhat going kinda closed-source, will its derivatives like Fedora remain viable?
Don't remember how Canonical shit the bed, but I'm wary of using Ubuntu derivatives.
What would you recommend for a distro that keeps on top of security updates and is at least acceptable in terms of running games like AoE2 DE or The Outer Worlds?
