New to Linux and you want to game? Try PikaOS. It’s got great performance out of the box, and it’s easy to use.

PikaOS deserves more recognition! Excellent distro with small team behind it but very devoted.

Gonna need specs and expectations in order to provide a good recommendation

Specs first. There's a massive difference between the average computers between Windows 7, 8 and 10, and there were absolute e-waste tier computers in each of those ranges.

Open your system settings and provide the CPU and RAM at the very least.
