I use arch with frogging-family's (linux-tkg) modded kernel its suppose to optimize for gaming on linux and as i can tell it works well not nearly as bogged down on vanilla 5.19 or zen, also i use Heroic-Games-launcher (EGS/GOG electron storefront with wine included so running windows gog games is pretty easy, i even heard CCyberpunk can run on tkg pretty welljust as good as on windows

Personally I haven't changed, still use Linux Mint (DE: Cinnamon) on my laptop and it works perfectly fine for my school needs, and has the additional benefit of not giving the trouble of how Windows 11 did with my 8 gigs of RAM.

Why not join the Linux League group here on GBAtemp? There is an entire thread dedicated to this question with various answers from people, I recommend it.

Still have Linux mint (cinnamon) on my main gaming desktop. Also have it on the home computer downstairs, but it's not the main boot sequence (gf just doesn't want to learn Libreoffice).
Steamos on Steam deck, obviously. Might switch to this one valve comes around to officially releasing it.

I am currently trying out Kubuntu right now on my old laptop, but with how often Linux mint is being recommended to me I might try switching to that.

I use debian with the xfce desktop
 
I use Fedora Workstation with GNOME on my tower. I have Mint with Cinnamon on an older laptop. I'm running Debian without a DE on an old netbook. I also run OpenWrt on an older Netgear router.
 
I use Arch of course.

Kidding…I use just about anything but most comfortable with RH based distros. Lately I’ve been doing a shit ton of Ubuntu on RPi and Alpine in containers.

Ubuntu is my go to. I don't use Linux on my main PCs but there's no better option for my server.
I had a dual boot on my main PCs in the past, I just never ended up using Linux on them for much so I didn't see a point to keeping it. I still like to leave a few tens of GBs unpartitioned so I can easily dual boot later if I want.
