I’m going to go out on a limb here… If you have no Linux experience, download virtualbox and a handful of distros to try out in your current machine.
CachyOS is great for gaming, I’d suggest the KDE desktop
PopOS is also a great choice, their native cosmic desktop is nice.
Mint with cinnamon is also a good choice for gaming and daily use
Bazzite is also a popular gaming distro that also uses KDE
Xubuntu is also a great choice, Ubuntu base with XFCE desktop, great for gaming and a big supportive community
Try these and maybe a handful others to play with until you find a desktop that you find intuitive and easy to find what you need. Once you play with a few of these pick one and try to stick with it as you learn Linux in a full native install.
