What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming (beehaw.org)

I use Windows for my desktop PC but I'm also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I'm not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I'm interested in how people are gaming on Linux

I have wanted to try Fedora. Maybe I should just try them all and see how it goes lol

If trying them all sounds like fun, go ahead! I personally love downloading a bunch of isos and poking around the live usb (pre installation) version of different distros every once in a while.

Though honestly, if you just want to get started you can probably do anything you want on any distro. Distro choice seems to matter less and less these days.
