Nobara’s probably the “it just works” one for gaming and you can code on pretty much anything

If you want to tinker NixOS is the one imo. Has one config file with fairly simple options like to ensure steam is enabled it’s

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">programs.steam.enable = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">programs.steam.openFirewall = true:
</span>

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># nixos-rebuild switch
</span>

And it installs and configures everything for you

Also because every time you are rebuilding your system it saves every iteration so if you totally fuck up your system you can just boot an earlier build and away you go

As far as I’ve used it pretty much everything on NixOS “just works” as long as you’ve got the right config (which can be searched on search.nixos.org or just googled
