I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

Mint. I've been happy with it. I'm more familiar with debs/apt/Ubuntu so I wanted to stick with something familiar but didn't want to use Ubuntu. It's worked very well for me for gaming. I just upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia card to an AMD card which, aside from having to manually install the drivers from the terminal, has worked very well.
