Tl;dr:

If you do tweak your system debian seems the most stable one.

Ok I switched to full Linux no Windows about one and a half year ago.

First I tried an Ubuntu gaming variant. It wasn't working like I wanted and outdated. Then manjaro because it was said to be good for gaming and easier than arch. I couldn't get warm with it too many hurdles to get stuff going. Fedora or rather nobara (from the same guy who makes glorious eggroll for Proton) was my choice then I really liked it and it worked mostly like I wanted. But because it is basically dependend on RedHat and they went closed source and I had issues (which weren't solved by a new distro, I messed up my kde configs) I switched to debian-testing.

I knew debian well because it's the same I run for years on my old Laptop which wouldn't Support Windows 10.

And I must say Debian-testing is great, stable and up to date with drivers and stuff. I had to do a few steps to get steam running and install flatpak but then it's just the best experience I ever had on Linux.

What I actually wanted to say is that I usually do a bit of tweaking and then break sth. But on debian I didn't need to do that and if I did it still works fine.
