Looking For New Distro Recommendation (lemmy.world)

So I'm looking for a new distro rec and having a hard time landing on one. I started off on PopOS for a couple of years and it was fine, but I wanted something a little different, then I switched to Bazzite and found out I love KDE and dislike immutable distros.

I primarily use my machine for gaming and secondarily for small coding projects and a lil home labbing. And based on my previous selections you can probably tell I don't want to have to mess with a lot of settings or configurations to get coding or gaming.

I'm currently leaning towards EndeavuorOS or Garuda, but wanted to hear some other opinions.

For a little more background I checked out Manjaro and Nobara, but liked Endeavuor a bit more. My GPU and CPU are both AMD and relatively new.

I've just built a new gaming PC for the living room with the 9070XT and tried various KDE flavour distros like KDE neon, Bazzite, Fedora KDE spin etc for more mature VRR and HDR support. Ended up on EndeavourOS which was really straightforward to install and get to grips with in terms of native packages and the AUR. Was easy enough to add the additional repos to get access to Mesa 25+ for GPU support, I'm really liking the distro so far!

I've used PopOS and Mint before but this is my first Arch based distro.
