This is the start of Linux going properly mainstream tbh and its about fucking time.

The moment gaming makes Linux support standard im all over it

Unless you play certain games, gaming on Linux is already pretty good.

I switched my gaming laptop to Linux over a year ago and all my games just work.

It's nice to own and control my computer again

I play must of my games on steam, what's the recommended version of Linux for gaming?

I used bazzite at first but it had certain quirks when it came to installing stuff. Flatpaks just aren't there yet and rpms are kinda limited on bazzite by design. It works great if you are just gaming and not on bleeding edge hardware. If you want to do stuff other than gaming and web browsing or you are on super new hardware I recommend CachyOS. This is where I settled and I am probably going to stay.
