Nobara is a great gaming focused distro, it's a fork of Fedora by a well-known Red Hat employee.
It's by the GloriousEggroll guys, and I really liked it a lot. I would still be using it if it worked better with my laptop's hybrid Nvidia graphics setup. When I get around to swapping my desktop to linux, I'll almost certainly go with Nobara first.
FWIW, Pop!_OS is where I landed for great hybrid graphics support.
@shreddy_scientist @alehc Well, not just for gaming, but for beginners, or people who like the simplicity of the desktop environment, Linux Mint. I used it for quite a long time, and altough is has some quirks (as any linux distros do), it is a decent all-rounder, for everyday use and for gaming too.
That's what makes Nobara so rad, it works great for gaming because it has a number of the most downloaded packages built in!
Regular Fedora Workstation is a good compromise between stability and new kernels etc.
Personally I like the KDE spin best: https://fedoraproject.org/spins/kde/
+1 from me. Fedora is a nice middle ground - stable, polished, yet adopting new things fast.
I've had really good luck with Pop!_OS. AMD CPU and NVIDIA GPU, so having the NVIDIA drivers bundled is nice.
Most games in my Steam library work out of the box with no tinkering of Proton. I've lucked out in that the games that do require tinkering work with Proton Experimental or Glorious Eggroll's releases. Lutris is the same, though I just default to the latest Glorious Eggroll release.
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
