Best Linux for gaming and for beginners?

[Cyber2B]

BIG UPDATE: After playing around for a bit with Linux versions, POP OS and KDE NEON are one of my favs RN, if any of you guys are new to linux like me, you gotta check these two out before anything else!


Plan to try out one of them... in a VM before thinking of switching.

I don't have any CS knowledge, I am just a casual computer user that browses the web and plays video games and online banking.

So any suggestions?

Don't use linux for gaming...

Why not? Do you have any valid reasons why someone cannot game on Linux? Please, do tell us.

I have both a windows & some linux machines. The linux ones are a lower spec.
Both gaming - especially multiplayer and Windows have a lot of privacy issues so use the same PC for them. So basically just gaming & maybe downloading a few windows specific tools & drivers.

For everything else I use linux for many reasons.
Also my windows and linux machines are configured to be on a different LAN with no traffic allowed between. I use a software router called pfsense to do this. It means monitoring network traffic is easier and try to stifle windows telemetry as much as practical. Also there are windows based viruses that try to spread across the local network.
Windows has much worse security than linux hence the need for an antivirus. I have little trust for microsoft.

If you want to use linux for gaming it is still an ongoing headache to setup but gradually getting better. For now it is simply easier to game on Windows.

To me it seems that the best Linux for gaming and for beginners is Kubuntu because KDE Plasma is just fantastic.
Looks nice, it's very customizable, fast and it's pretty much Windows like. If you're coming from Windows like the 95% of users are, you don't need to read a book to use it. You can start immediately with what you know.
I just hope Valve will hope the KDE developers to make gaming permormance tweaking.

There are other less resource intensive DE's than KDE such as XFCE, LXDE, Englightenment. Even Cinnamon is less intensive than KDE.

I guess to the average user it wouldn't make so much of a difference, but there are better desktop environments out there that are more fitting as the 'best for Linux gaming' (eg, Xubuntu).
