Good distro for mostly gaming system? (sopuli.xyz)

I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

I game fine on fedora but it's a bit too cutting edge so I would reccomend you try mint or bazzite. Ultimately it doesn't really matter that much. Just the mistakes I made and had issues with are mostly twofold; Firstly I reccomend you turn off secureboot to save you from enrolling keys (which is not too bad but pointless on linux imo).

Secondly make sure your steam library drive is formatted to linux filesystem cause steam don't play nice.

Also another one that did my head in: Flatpack is basically just a gated playground for programs. You can give them more toys or responsibilities using flatseal or similiar if programs are not working like they should.
