Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.

Now don't get me wrong, they're great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.

Pop or Fedora unless there's a reason not to.

    Pop is basically Ubuntu minus snap, plus flatpak, plus their PPA, no?

    Yes. With a custom gnome shell fork.

    Their summer release will have the new desktop environment they have been working on (Cosmic) which will be a big point of differentiation
