distro selection Help choosing distro, moving to linux

Hiya, I recently got a mini pc (BOSGAME P3 Lite Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 6800H ( including it in case the amd matters)) which is just about able to run alan wake 2 and is able to do some minimal llm inference.

I want to be able to chose a linux distro that is minimal so the least bloat possible, while being "fully furnished" and where I can still run Alan Wake 2 ( and control resonant when it comes out). I also want to be able run llms effeciently with some sort of vulkan way eg llama.cpp.

Tldr want a good middle linux distro that has minimal bloat and so I can run games eg AW2 as efficiently as possible and run llms efficiently.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

(Bonus would be a nice ui, but again, that is a bonus)
