I have heard good things about nobara. I don't mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don't want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn't get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up....Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

Yea so I tried nobara and to be honest unless I'm stupid it sucked... Constant graphical issues no matter the application(I could not play halo Infinite it started I old load game but then it would break). So I then put on mint after a day and downloaded Nvidia drivers through there GUI and then wine (not entirely sure what it does to be honest) and tried some games all worked great/well.
