So what distro do you use? I definitely am also including gaming in the considerations.
Currently using Bazzite. Wanted something rolling release but I didn't want to do extensive tinkering, and Bazzite ticked both boxes. Other distros I tried (PopOS, LMDE) struggled with my monitor layout. Main monitor is high refresh rate and VRR capable, secondary monitor is 60hz, not VRR capable, and it's in portrait orientation. That combination is very not ideal for some window managers, as I discovered the hard way. I'm sure I could have fought through that on other distros, but it all worked out of the box with Bazzite.
Juat wanted to chip in and say that PikaOS is a gaming specific OS based on Debian Testing. Been running it the last couple of months and been enjoying the heck out of it! https://wiki.pika-os.com/en/home
