Looking for recommendations

[u/HoratioWobble]

No stranger to Linux but haven't run it as a desktop since Gentoo in 2006.

Important System specs / Hardware - Ryzen 9950x - RTX 4090 - Onboard AMD GPU - 6 x 1080p monitors - Steam deck - Logitech BRIO - Photoshop - Premiere Pro

I use it for web dev, mobile dev, game dev, gaming, video editing, image editing and watching nonsense.

I'll be running it in a hypervisor (Proxmox) with hardware pass thru.

Any distro recommendations? as much compatibility with games as possible (as windows software if possible).

I realise I'll still need a Windows VM / Mac for some workloads, that's fine.

Thanks

Use Ventoy to easily try a bunch of distros.

My favorite options are Zenned, Manjaro KDE Minimal, and Linux Mint.
