I have heard good things about nobara. I don't mind doing a little thinkering to have things work but I also don't want to spend hours doing recharch on how to fix things.

Edit: thanks for giving input everyone. I will try Linux mint and if it does not go well will give nobara a go instead.

Edit part two I had to boot mint in compatibility mode because I got black screen for like 15+ minutes and then I couldn't get it to see more than one monitor and 3 hours later gave up....Just put on nobara will load mint to my laptop and try to learn more because I want to but also tryna game :) you will hear more from me

Something up to date with a newer kernel. Wine devs say that's best to get updates and benefits quicker given how things are changing quickly.

Given that, I'd say Open Suse, Arch or Fedora. I use Open Suse and am very happy with it. Meets my indie gaming needs.
