I've played with Linux before and finally had enough with Windows. I'm a seasoned programmer but mainly concerned with gaming for this computer, except that I want to be able to run Unreal Engine 5 and potentially other big tools like that. TIA 💓

I used Lutris for anything Windows related that needs installers, etc. You can run that on pretty much anything.

As far as distros go it depends on how hands off you want it to be. If you want a set it and forget it distro I'd go with Fedora or Ubuntu.

If you want something more bleeding edge and customisable I'd go with EndeavourOS, which is basically Arch on rails.
