I’d second Mint suggested below. I mentioned this on another thread today, but if you’re really concerned about being able to play whatever games you want then just dual boot (use a secondary drive for Linux, not a partition) and upgrade to Windows 11 then install O&O shut up as it will allow you to disable all the telemetry and AI bullshit then just search your installed apps/programs for one drive and delete the app.
I use Mint for everything except gaming. It still runs a lot of what I tried with Lutris and a little tweaking, even got a game working where I just dragged the fully installed folder from Windows over to the Linux drive, but I have some things that work better on windows so I just neutered windows and only run that when I want to play something.
Every damn night … Toss turn toss turn toss turn… Finally sleep, a gnat on the other side of town farts and I’m up… Go to the bathroom, rinse repeat… 1 1/2 hr before I have to be up and fucking gigantic loud as hell disel trucks start their parade…
