This is the exact kind of user interaction I’m looking for. I’ve wanted to switch to Linux but need something stable I can use for my Steam library, and web browsing.
I’ve been single boot on Fedora for a little over a year. The biggest issue for gaming that I’ve seen are because of anti-cheats that don’t support Linux.
You always need to mention that even that’s very uncommon. Most AC doesn’t have an issue. Kernel-level ones usually do (and I’d stay away from them anyway), as well as some Chinese ones. Maybe a few others. 99.9% of the time it’s fine though.
It’s gotten to the point I don’t even check Protondb anymore before buying a game.
Garuda Dragonized I really like. It’s set up for gaming out of the box, with a utility to help you add anything else you may need for gaming. It comes with a “gamer” aesthetic that I’m really not a fan of but it’s easy to modify. It’s Arch based, which may sound scary from what you’ve heard, but it’s really not bad. It comes with everything you need (which is where the trouble with Arch is), and Arch is one of the best supported distros, with the Arch wiki and AUR.
I use Garuda Dragonized as well and one of the best parts is using KDE Plasma 6 which can make your desktop environment look and feel however you like. I made mine more Windows-like because it’s more familiar to me, but you can easily make it look like Gnome or Mac or something else entirely using menu-driven settings.
Now if only we could get more Wayland native applications…

Something stable to do that I’ve found in fedora, pop_os, and even arch.
I use fedora everyday now since version 31 or 32 and it’s honestly great. I have my few issues but it’s not like I didn’t have issues on windows.
I think Linux is ready for the desktop and has been. Every year it just gets better
