Choosing a distro
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
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.

Tumbleweed is fine for gaming. I daily drive it for three years now and cant complain much.
Just as a note, if you cant connect to external devices check the firewall first, you might need to open ports. YaST has a module for that, no need for Terminal foo.
Dont go and use too many OBS Repos (via opi), it is possible to run into conflicts sooner than later.
If you cant find your desired software check flatpak or appimage, distrobox is another option.
