Hi there.
If your target is mainly gaming, any recent mainstream distribution
will work for you since you can install Steam for Linux on most recent
ones.
There are also launchers and game managers for platforms such as
Gog and Epic. Check Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher. Those manage Wine
and compatibility layers automatically.
If more than 90% of your computer use is gaming you can dive deep
in and install something like Bazzite, which has all the tooling in
place already. It is not a "regular" distribution so don`t use it as a
way to learn Linux, but as an out of the box Linux solution for games
t works very well.
