Here's the official basic guide for Mint:

And here's the official basic guide for Pop!:

The main thing is to make a USB that you can boot from, so you can test things out before committing.
Linux hasn't really been complicated for a number of years, as long as you use something like Pop! or Linux Mint, running games through steam is painless.
...and as long as you are not doing VR, the games you play don't run weird anti-cheat software that'll ban you, you don't need windows/mac-only software for work or a hobby, you're not operating niche hardware.
