Suggested Distro? (lemm.ee)

It's time once again to bang my head against the wall of Linux gaming to see if I can make the switch from Windows. What's the flavor of the month for gaming distros for a Windows native that's not a moron but also wants something that just works once its set up?

Bonus points if you can point me at resources for how to put Linux on my Windows box as a dual boot without breaking my Windows installation.

EDIT - Tried Mint and Nobara and neither could figure out how to dual boot with Windows on a machine with two physical drives. I'm sure if I had a CS degree I could figure it out in short order but a little googling and messing around trying different things didn't work so I think I'm done. Maybe next time, Linux.

I run pop os and it's been flawless. Every game I've gone to play has worked great. I've tried for 15 years to make the switch and something always holds me back. Not this time, Linux has come a long way and there is nothing windows had that I miss.

Same here, PopOS is amazing!
