Switched off windows last month to POP OS, though they just recently came out with a new OS featuring cosmic instead of gnome. Has anyone here used it for gaming? How is it? I've read people having issues with it when it was in beta.

I have not done a ton of gaming on it yet, but had no issues (Framework Desktop). I tried Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster, loaded up super quick.

I have some minor non-gaming issues with Cosmic, like Cosmic Files not being able to pin a nfs network location. But I haven't run into anything yet that would make me move back to another distro.
