If you do ANY gaming at all: Bazzite KDE
If you don't: Fedora KDE
Fedora gnome and i game fine.
As do I! I have been a Fedora GNOME user for the past three years now, and I love it. Gaming won't necessarily be impacted by using Fedora as opposed to Bazzite, after all Bazzite is just Fedora with some stuff on top. And that's my point: if you are a more advanced user then you'll appreciate not having those things on top and being able to customize your system more to your liking, and be aware of what things you're installing because you're doing it manually (as opposed to having them bundled with the system), but those things will make the experience smoother for a newcomer who's afraid of making the jump, as OP is. Because yes, having pre-installed drivers, pre-installed compatibility layers and a set-up dialog when you first boot the system that allows you to install all basic software will make it easier, even if it's not needed. Plus, Bazzite is atomic, which Fedora isn't, and therefore harder to break (or rather, easier to repair, by just returning to the last working image, which should be as easy as selecting it on start-up)
And my recommendation of KDE as opposed to GNOME was because I think it is more similar to the experience someone would have coming from Windows, not necessarily related to any problems with gaming
I have kde on my school laptop and gnome at home. I much prefer gnome workflows and unified asthetics but kde is very nice and customizable but easy to break your system with. My only issue with gnome is gnome is sniffing its own farts too much by saying "we dont let you customize or change almost any settings cause were beginner friendly and streamlined. But also we wont give you right click - new file from the box, obviously just use terminal, what are you a beginner?"
