In general, we think the best Linux distro for gaming is also one you can use outside of video games. That distro features a lot of what's great about Arch, but with some added stability and its own repository of applications. The Arch-based ones are generally thought to be for more experienced Linux users, though you can easily get your feet wet with Manjaro. That doesn't mean it's bad, of course two of the other distros on this list are based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is where a lot of people get started (or one of the many, many distros based on it) and it has its place, but out of the box it can be a hassle.
There's no one best Linux distro for everyone. Getting going with gaming can be a hassle, what with Steam, Lutris, Proton, DXVK, WINE, Winetricks, GameMode, etc., but it's definitely a great place to start if you're new to Linux. Still, if you have a problem with Ubuntu or setting something up, you can easily find support. The community is also pretty strong, though not quite on the level of Arch and Manjaro. While it's not the best gaming distro out of the box, it is the most widely-used distro and therefore has some of the best support. There are other Ubuntu versions for education, multimedia creation, and others. It comes with a modified GNOME desktop out of the box, but there are other versions with KDE, XFCE, LXQt, and a host of other community options (like Deepin). Ubuntu has a lot of weight in the Linux world and it's quite versatile. It comes in two versions, a Long-Term Support (LTS) version and the semi-annual XX.04 and XX.10 releases. It's where a lot of people start out and it serves as the foundation for most of the distros out there. Like it or not, Ubuntu is the premiere Linux distribution. Getting set up for gaming can be a hassle But your mileage may vary, so give Drauger OS a try before passing judgement. It uses Gparted for partition management, which is fine, but the installer can still fail sometimes. The biggest complaint we could lodge against Drauger OS is the cumbersome and oftentimes buggy installer. All that to say, it's made for hardcore Linux gaming. It does this with kernel level modifications for low latency, a 1,000Hz scheduling frequency (up from 250Hz), and the BFQ IO scheduler. The whole thing doesn't look as pretty as some other distros, but its main goal is to provide the best gaming experience. It's a barebones distro that comes with the lightweight XFCE desktop environment. Based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS at time of writing, Drauger OS is stable, too. It's built with performance and security in mind, getting you straight to gaming and even installing Steam during the OS installation process.
