I'm somewhat surprised there isn't a Fedora there, it's a pretty great and up-to-date distro. And pretty popular.
I'm also surprised Flatpak isn't higher!
Fedora or Bazzite (Fedora-based) are my top recommendations for new Linux users. I’m constantly surprised at Mint’s general popularity, especially for gaming. Even openSUSE Tumbleweed is a better option when it comes to gaming.
There's a reason it's not up there and cachy is, bazzite is in basically just a worse version of what cachy is setting out to do.
