What is the best distro for gaming?

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.

IMO, the best distro is going to be whatever you're most comfortable with (given it's still getting updates blah blah blah). Some might be easier in the get go but if they do wonky things (compared to what you're used to) an update might really screw you up and leave you in a situation where you're doing a lot of research.
For the most part, you can make any distro do whatever you want, but if you understand one much better than the rest, use that.
