Ideally one that is forward-thinking, gaming-friendly, and efficient.

    Lots of great recommendations here. You can't really go wrong with any of them.

    But since you mentioned forward thinking (and to some degree gaming friendly), I wouldn't really recommend Mint. It's rock solid but that implies that it's slow moving and not very forward thinking.

    Bazzite seems to be a good gaming choice. But sometimes, (rarely) these newfangled immutable distros can be a bit hard to get help for.

    So I would recommend going with Fedora.

    ETA: What hardware are you planning to run this distro on?

        Discord replacing dedicated fourms is one of the worst things to ever happen to the internet

            Back in my day when you wanted quick answers all you had to do was confidently post the wrong answer on linuxquestions.org

        Fair enough, I don't use discord so I didn't know that.

        PS: I do wish that they would have an open platform for support. Sadly, a lot of these gaming communities seem to be congregating over there, so yeah

      An old thinkpad with Intel and Nvidia, and I would like to stick with a distro in the future once that laptop dies off.

        You don't have too new hardware so Mint (with its older kernels) wouldn't be a problem. But yeah, sticking with Fedora (or Bazzite) seems like a better option for you
