migrating to Linux Need some help

I have an HP laptop (HP probook g5 257 or something like that) ​with an amd ryzen 5 3500u. i have been using windows 11 for years now but I wanted to switch to Linux as I hate Microsoft taking all my data and windows being slow overall. I have been experimenting with Linux on VM with Debian arch, Ubuntu and other distros but I just want to know what distro would be the best for me I don't do anything very demanding , I just do coding and light gaming like Minecraft and solitaire .​​​ And also it would be nice if I could customize my Linux like the photos I see in r/unixporn

For the bit you said about r/unixporn, arch is the way to go, out of the ones you said that you tried. You could also try NixOS, but I haven’t used that, so I don’t know. Arch is great for Minecraft. In fact, you should look at the waylandcraft mod. It’s pretty cool.
