My Predator Helios from 2018 is working just fine with win10, but I really want to move over to linux.

Probably I will start to have problems but I would like to hear yours opinions.

This Laptop is mostly for gaming.

I would personally go for Nobara. It's also a gaming-oriented distro but it's made by the guy that does ProtonGE and WineGE, some of the best tools for gaming.

Honestly, I wouldn't use a distro that's maintained by a single person.

I say, using an Android System that's maintained by a single person.

You know what, go ahead, Nobara looks good.

I go for the best of both and use the Nobara kernel in Garuda

You just have to download it from the AUR and compile it. Then Garuda makes it super easy to pick your kernel in the boot settings.
