I’m using Linux Mint with an Nvdia card and it works great. But I don’t have a completely new PC so I don’t need the latest of the latest stuff. Taking your hardware into account is always a good idea.
My advice: don’t switch too fast, maybe keep dual boot at first and give yourself time to learn. Try distros with a live USB stick on your system to see if it works. For the look and feel consult https://distrosea.com/ and play around. Linux can be fun and it’s serving gamers very well now (for the most part - there are games that won’t run mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’).
If you decide to contribute there, it’s quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.
Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: “Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL” - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data
Well, I have, have you?

EA Launcher, Ubisoft and Battlenet work fine with Lutris.
I wouldn’t install a kernel level “anti-cheat” crap on a Windows machine anyway, no loss here.
Also having zero issues using NVIDIA, works great. Distro wise it comes down to personal preferences and tastes. I second Mint for easy use, but I’m hearing that other distros like Nobara and PopOS also work great for gaming.
I was using Linux Mint when I made the switch and it was great cause everything was just working, no tinkering needed. I want to mention https://nobaraproject.org/ though, cause it’s a modified Fedora version that works very well for gaming too.
I don’t think there’s a “best” but PopOS sure is one of the recommended ones. You might also find some answers in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/1130762
Only me reading that as ‘uwu’?
