Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.

Now don’t get me wrong, they’re great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.

    that OS turned me off unless it has substantially improved since then

    That was my experience with Pop!_OS too. I tried switching to it after finding that Ubuntu has a lot of bloat.

    In the end, I went back to Ubuntu, because it works right out of the box - even with my Nvidia graphics card! (only from 20.04 onwards; 18.04 and older versions were problematic)

    When I reinstalled Ubuntu, I chose the custom / minimal installation option, and that cut out most of the bloat.
