Can someone recommend a linux distro where i can run steam and get most games. I know some games dont run on linux at all. I am using a last gen threadeipper and 1080ti.
at this point i am ready to jump the MS ship completely.

It's truly a new world for gaming in linux now. I've been on linux since the early 2000s and had basically given up on getting almost anything to run through wine. Now almost everything in my steam catalog runs fine.
Just a heads-up that it's not all roses, though. There may be games that run fine for some people but don't on your setup, and anything with anti-cheat is basically not going to run yet, though Valve is working hard on that problem. You may find issues with alt-tabbing from fullscreen games, you might find that some games rely on an api that isn't working in proton or wine yet. For example, I play Phasmophobia solo, and that works great for the most part but they rely on Cortana for voice recognition, and that isn't implemented yet. I can make noise and ghosts will hear me, but they won't understand what I'm saying.
In my opinion any issues you run into will be small fish in comparison to issues thrust upon you by Microsoft being Microsoft, but they will seem huge at first because you're probably used to trying to solve problems the "microsoft way". Once you get past a few you'll be doing great.
