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 💓

If you want to know more about Linux, I recommend Arch Linux. Despite how hard it is said to be, the installation is actually pretty easy as long as you can read the installation wiki. You can apply the knowledge of the arch wiki to many distros, so if you don't want to use Arch Linux, make sure to keep the arch wiki in mind.

If you want one that just works out of the box, I generally recommend Fedora KDE Plasma edition. If you want an immutable one (one that you can't easily break), Fedora Kinoite (this also comes with the KDE Plasma DE).
