I'm using Steam without any issues on Linux Mint. If you consider that, people prefer installing the .deb from the website over flatpak or the version of the Software Manager in Mint.

flatpak borks VR, per steam. For the Linux compatible non VR games Ubuntu worked great under Gnome. I am most of the way to having VR working but I had to switch from Gnome on Ubuntu to Kubuntu. Now to figure out how to get the room setup to run, some other file is running and setup cannot launch. 1 step at a time.
Using NVidia GPU? Use Pop OS. Managing drivers is really easier on it.
Anything else and whatever looks good to your eye.
Technically speaking it is not a distribution.
"Bazzite is a custom image of Fedora Atomic Linux 40, utilizing Universal Blue’s custom image framework designed to bring users the best in Linux gaming for their PCs, including the Steam Deck and other handhelds."
Bazzite 3.0 Installer is here!
I'm too busy playing games and having no issues, to write why it's amazing.
I am at 237 days with no issues, and that issue was Valves anyway.

I used to write personal GitHub gists in the 6 years I've been using Linux/Fedora. To share with others to tweak their Fedora installs for gaming. Don't have to do that anymore!
Bazzite has been wonderful. I went in skeptical about immutable distris for gaming but Bazzite has been such a great experience.
Most distros are going to run games just fine, but if you want something specifically tuned for games I recommend Nobara Linux. It comes with everything you need out of the box.
Fedora/KDE (on all AMD hardware).
No brainer, everything just works.
And for those games that aren't Steam based, I use Bottles, and then use the feature inside a Bottles that adds the game to my Steam library, so they can be launched directly from Steam.
Fedora seems to have the best support for hardware, of all the distros that I've tried.
Anyone have advice for someone on Nvidia that heavily uses discord screen sharing?
I use Pop! OS Linux. Seems to work pretty well for me.
