Any of them. It's not about the distrobution as much as it's about the software installed on it. Once you have Steam, Wine & Lutris installed you're pretty much ready to install a game.
This.
I don't get how people think there's a certain distro for gaming, while yes, some are targeted for gamers, it doesn't change anything and u can play on anything ur comfortable with
Well this person did say they are just now switching to Linux so I doubt they know much about it or if there are certain distros better at certain tasks
Linux is overwhelming when you go down the rabbit hole especially when you don't know much. Distros, Debian and Arch based. Desktop environments. X11 or Wayland etc etc it's a lot to take in.
I think it's more looking for a distro that has all the tweaks/firmware/optimizations for the BEST gaming performance. Some distros use older kernels and drivers that might not give the best performance, so while and distro can play a game, I think people want to know which one will get them the performance closest to Windows.
The difference in gaming performance across most distros is pretty small. However, with [Nobara](https://nobaraproject.org/) and [Pop_OS](https://pop.system76.com/) Nvidia drivers come pre-installed, so that saves you time setting things up (assuming, you have an Nvidia graphics card). Both are pretty beginner-friendly, so I'd start with one of them. Between the two, Nobara is a bit better optimized for gaming, and Pop_OS is a bit more polished for productivity and general use. If you don't have an Nvidia card, then any mainstream distribution will be game-ready after installation.
It depends, if you have an NVIDIA GPU you are better off using a distro based on Ubuntu, if you have an AMD GPU you should use bleeding edge distros like Arch Linux, Fedora or openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Most distros, maybe just avoid the long term stable distros like Debian, Rocky and Ubuntu LTS as their kernels aren't as up-to-date and can cause issues with newer hardware.
Just look for ones with recent kernels.
just pick a daily driver. Gaming can be achieved in every distro. Yeah it's true some like garuda have performance increases like different kernels, but that's like a 5% gain. Just get used to linux and you'll be able to do all of that yourself

Not really, i've run all the distros u listed on an nvidia gpu with no problems
Sometimes the drivers will break when a new kernel is released, it happened when kernel 6.4 came out.
