I recommend Nobara OS nvidia version. This comes with drivers during initial installation so no need to follow wiki guides and spend additional time carefully installing stuff. The biggest “plus” is that (assuming you are using discord), they have a pretty large discord server where you can ask questions and stuff.

Even though its just a spin on fedora, I think this community and distro is good for newcomers who also game.

I apologize if my recommendations are not what you are looking for but have you tried:

Disco Elysium? Cuz that game blew my fucking mind. I voice acting and characters are superb.

Signalis. Its such a lovely artsy game thats like resident evil but more story driven imo (less survival).

I love poe2 with wasd movement. I beg you to try it out. It was something i was hesitant at first but now I wish all arpg’s had this feature.

Kenshi is also a great option but I don’t think its for everyone. Still recommend it though cuz the world is very mysterious in first playthrough.
