Which Linux distribution would you recommend? ( kbin.social )

Hi! Since i don't want to get forced into TPM with Win11, and with the great improvements in game compatibility in the last years, i am thinking about switching to Linux.

System Specs:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
  • 32GB RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (due for an upgrade tho, probably nvidia again)
  • 2 M2 2280 drives

The last time i worked with Linux was with Debian Jessie, and messed up my system more than one time (chalking it up as learning experience). So my question is: which current distribution is best suited for gaming for me without much messing around too much?

@AWildMimicAppears I'm on Manjaro and have Steam Games working well with Snowrunner and Red Dead Redemption 2. But Valve's Steam Deck also uses Manjaro as its distro so I figure that must be a good choice for gaming.
