Hey,

I used to use Manjaro for gaming since it has a very good support for it.  
Also you can try Pop\_OS!.

With Lutris you can play almost any games. I used to play GTAV etc.  
I also used [GWE](https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe) to over clock my GPU.

And with the help of [Proton DB](https://www.protondb.com) you can check the support of your favorite game on Linux.

What a thrilling period right?
