From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think PopOS is a good option for gaming since ypu can get it with NVIDIA drivers included if you need them but I'd reccommend looking at Bazzite as well:

Generally I'd say: Be prepared to keep an open mind, while you can use Linux like any other OS in most cases nowadays don't get stuck on wanting to have everything, every workflow exactly like it is on Windoge. Try new things, tinker, it's fun!
