I use Arch with KDE. I don't recommend Manjaro because it has historically had some serious problems, so for people who want Arch without as much hassle, I'm recommending EndeavourOS. It's what Manjaro should be like.

I'm using Gentoo.
If I wanted a smooth no-tinkering experience, I'd use Ubuntu. Or hell, steamos.
I've been using Fedora for the past few years and have been pretty happy with it. It updates at just the right cadence for me where I get new stuff pretty quickly but I'm not on a rolling release.
I've been on pop os for at least 2 years now, been loving it. Most of my gaming is through steam so compatibility issues are the exception, not the rule. It's a bit of a dream come true to play God of War on Linux, it feels like all the stars aligned.
Even when I bork the install by fucking around in the kernel I wind up getting back on pop rather than finally taking the dive into arch.
Been gaming on Gentoo for over a year, even if I haven't found much time for gaming in the last few months.
Don't do it if you've gotten too lazy for Arch though. Try Pop!_OS or Linux Mint or something. Enjoy an easy distro for a bit, till you get the itch for Arch back.
Oh I've tinkered with Gentoo plenty in the past (I still miss OTW if that rings any bells) and no, I really don't have the patience for it these days. :)
And yeah, I'll probably end up installing something a bit more fancy soon-ish.. for now I plopped Kubuntu 20.04 on there and Diablo IV is downloading as we speak!
