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.

Yeah, it'll be perfectly fine. You'll probably want to stick to the Steam flatpak for gaming (personal preference), but it shouldn't be much different than Ubuntu experience. Nvidia set up is usually the most annoying part, but that's less the fault of the distro and entirely of Nvidia.
Thanks! I'll keep in mind the Steam flatpak thing.
personally, i wouldn't
but maybe i'm biased

Agreed, the one issue I had with steam (trying to get ALVR to work over a year ago) only happened with the flatpak version
