I'm using Manjaro KDE - working well with Steam Games with Proton for must games.

I'm using Arch (btw) but I think it's only fair to warn people (especially those coming from Windows) that rolling release is something you have to want or at least know about the consequences. Otherwise people might get a rude awakening if they don't read changelogs and the like.
I would take a look at pop_os. It's Ubuntu, but without Snap and a closer to mainline kernel version. They have a lot of great usability tweaks too.
I run Arch BTW. I just like to make things difficult :)
I installed Kubuntu.. I couldn't be assed to resize my efi partition to a gig and disrupt windows.. Done that in the past with varying results. Wish they didn't require it to be that big tbh.
I do miss Arch.. wouldn't surprise me if I'll install it again soon.
Kubuntu works. But where's the fun in that? :)
It's like.. I installed it, messed with lutris a bit (needed a newer version) and installed Diablo 4, everything works.. and now I feel like I'm missing out somehow. :)
You're missing out on chasing the dragon for the latest and greatest. :)
Arch is fine once you get it setup, but I feel like the nerd in us can never just leave it be. I'll probably go back to pop_os next major release they have.
Sometimes I wish I had a machine dedicated to nothing but reinstalling different distros. :)
It can get a bit disrupting to do it on your main rig too often.
VMs are great for that
A very simple, almost stock setup of Arch + KDE.
X11 or Wayland? I find games like csgo stutter on Wayland.
I used Manjaro with Wayland last year and had no issues at all playing games.
