At the risk of saying, "I use arch btw" - I've found CachyOS to be fairly great.

I'm running it on my Rog Zephyrus M16 purchased in late 2023 (it came with Windows 11). It's great for pretty much all games that I've thrown at it with proton, Heroic games handles Amazon Games, Epic, and GOG stuff.

You have lots of options (probably too many to be honest) for getting windows programs to run on Linux - ranging from very hands on with no-frills wine to more hand holding things like Lutris or Bottles.

My wife (who is only a techie from osmosis) switched to CachyOS on her laptop and seems to be fine with it (her game of choice is Last Epoch and it's painless to run).

All of that is not Cachy OS specific, you can use any major distro

Oh, that's very true. I've used most on Ubuntu in the past as well.

To me, CachyOS shockingly seems really stable and "fast" in a subjective way.
