Arch for a beginner can be a bit too much.
Try Bazzite.
I also heard good things about Nobara in terms of gaming. Haven't tried it myself though.
I've been using Nobara 39 for the last month and it has been a smooth ride. I'm playing Elden Ring with 0 issues and no tweaking needed on my part. The only friction I had was with the installer because I have a Nvidia card but once installed and got drivers updated all issues were gone.
I installed Bazzite on my gaming computer and it just isn't great, there is screen flickering and occasional crashes:( I am not going back to Windows but it has required more emotional energy to troubleshoot than I wanted
I probably should get an AMD card, but I am going to try Nobara next to see if it just works...
