Kubuntu is the easiest entrypoint for a noob IME. It was my first distro.

Perfect thank you, this gives me the starting point I need!

As for gaming, literally just install Steam and try installing some games from your library. Steam automatically loads up Proton which is the compatibility tool that makes Steam games work on Linux. If you want to check, you can go to the website ProtonDB, but 99% of the time, they'll just work.

If you need something not on steam (GOG, Epic etc) you'll also want Heroic Game Launcher which wraps those services in the same Steam Linux magic.
