Ubuntu Continues Falling Like a Rock as a Gaming Distro

I'd look into what Valve is using.

They use Arch btw

I think people use popOS now which is Ubuntu but some of the gaming-specific headaches ironed out

I think Manjaro is the best of both worlds: the software ubiquity and stability (unironic[0]) of Arch with the user-friendliness of Ubuntu.

0: It turns out that new software is paradoxically more stable than older software, likely because devs' limited attention is always fixed on the latest versions. Rolling release distros have all the newest versions of software.
