I found the best working linux for me is endeavorOS, which istalls Arch and package manager yay If you want to install anything just write yay „anything“ and choose what to install from the list (google „aur „answer to anything“ „ to check which answer is the app you want) For installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers, there is a tool preinstalled (have to google the name) if you really want.
I'll try endeavor next time.
If I can get overwatch and steam games to work, I would leave Windows in a heart beat. But I'm also at the point in my life where I can't spend hours troubleshooting.
Steam has great Linux support and can run even non steam windows apps through proton I have not tested overwatch, but you can launch battle.net through steam if you add the exe to your steam library and force proton in the game properties
Edit: just use the app lutris to install battle.net, seems to be the even more easy route
