mint.
Ooookay, this will get controversial.
Proud Manjaro/Debian user!
- Ubuntu and derivatives suck because of Canonical and their practices
- Fedora sucks because of Red Hat
- OpenSUSE sucks because RPM (why?!) and still SUSE (but they're the best of the three)
- Rest is exotic and obscure
So we end up with Arch and Debian. Debian 12 is good enough as is, and runs on a work laptop where I don't care about anything but stability. Arch is respectable and great, but requires excessive maintenance to work properly. Among its derivatives, Endeavour is just a nicer archinstall (so, why?), Garuda is cool but unstable and too gamer'y, Manjaro is a bit problematic at times but generally the safest bet when it comes to Arch. So, when it comes to my main PC doubling as a gaming rig, this is a no-brainer.

I have zorin and mint dual booting on my surface book.
really liking zorin, very pleasing to look at, simple, haven't run into any software I had on windows that I can't run here. I don't game on, could still be a slight negative, but so far I love it.
Zorin looks really nice and clean. I'm still waiting for them to release the Grid management tool...if that is actually going to happen

Find me a distro, that works with Nvidia 4070 / Intel CPU.
Can support a 3 monitor setup with weird sizes. 4k, 1440( in vertical), and a 1600-1200.
Play most games with out scaling issues.
That should do
P.s. very little CLI and tinkering needed.
Sounds like a job for a USB trial run on a rainy weekend when you're not doing anything else.
Nvidia supply OEM drivers for the Debian family (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), if not others, assuming the open-source drivers don't cut it for you. Microcode updates are released for both Intel and AMD.
You'll probably run into issues with some games. Things are getting better on Linux, slowly and steadily, but many games are written specifically for Windows with no Linux port available. Steam's store, for example, shows which games are SteamOS compatible, which usually means they'll run on Linux too.
For other games it's worth checking the Internet - e.g. www.protondb.com to see if anyone else has a particular game running under Linux. You're probably aware that there are programs that attempt to provide some layer of Windows behaviour that form part of the solution. Some of the solutions may or may not involve command line use.
Bazzite or Nobara.
Bazzite worked well for me with dual monitors and a 1060. But I canβt speak for 3 monitors and a 4070.
Whichever one you chose is the wrong one!
This is the only right answer

I've gone with PopOs. Ubuntu based so well supported. They've been around for a while now so they won't disappear over night. Gaming just works.
I was on Nobara for a while and really liked it. but while glorious eggroll is the goat, I don't want to put my DE in the hands of a single person.
Since swapping the I've experienced one game crashing freeze (which I hope was a one off), and when screen sharing BG3 over discord it slows the game down to a crawl. But I blame discord for this one, as its fine when streaming from OBS.

NixOS
NixOS
but am looking to move away because of the lack of SELinux or even AppArmor
apparmor is partially supported (check nixos security. apparmor, some manual configuration may be needed), not selinux though and probably never will be
