Hello guys i have a qustion about which distro i should use?

I want to dual boot windows and linux

I just want a safe place away from microsoft eyes to do edit and drawing and other hobbies on my pc. And playing some games like cs2 & 2d games Also the distro run my wallpaper engine Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it

Please dont tell me linux mint because i tried it 3 times and everytime i do anything simple the distro goes off and i should re install i won't give it anymore chances thank you 😖

Edit: thank you guys for typing your suggests. after some search i will give bazzite try and if won't work like i want. I will go with the other suggests I really enjoyed reading all your suggests

What sort of "simple" things did you have trouble with in Mint?

You could try popOS, Fedora, or Ubuntu. But without knowing what you struggled with, Mint should still be the best choice of you're new. Your troubles could just be the desktop environment you picked, or enabling third party/proprietary repositories. Or they could be a legit issue that is easily fixed using a different distro.

    Looks to me like Nobara might be what you want, it's fedora based and is tailored toward gaming. I haven't used it myself, so I can't comment on how it's different from fedora, but Fedora itself is pretty darn solid
