From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I heard good things about Garuda Linux
If you don't want the themed desktop (KDE) then Garuda KDE lite is great. They also offer other desktop environments that I also think is without the skin
This is what I'm using the last year, really enjoying it. Most stuff does just work, Proton installed by default, haven't had trouble running nearly anything I've wanted to play.
