If you’re specifically looking for gaming then there are two gaming-focused distros to look at: Bazzite and CachyOS. Former is based on Fedora and latter on Arch, if that makes any difference to you. I’ve heard good things about both.
Do note that Linux doesn’t support kernel-level anti cheat of any kind, so if you want to play any multiplayer games that require this you categorically cannot use Linux, unfortunately.
I chose CachyOS after having benchmarked various games between Windows 10, Bazzite and CachyOS. CachyOs performed the best of the three (not much, but systematically so).
However for users who wants the best ease of use Bazzite is probably the way to go. Steam is pre-installed for example.
Fortunately, the most invasive anti-cheats seem to be popular on games I don’t care for. So far my research has told me I might need to fiddle with Vermintide 2 a little but nothing else I play has it.
