Good distro for mostly gaming system? (sopuli.xyz)

I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

...which these "customized kernels" can (also) be applied to any other distro.

Mate, that technical detail is hardly useful to someone asking which distro might be good for gaming. The whole thing of distros is they are a collection of opinions around a Linux kernel. Are you really suggesting those differences are meaningless, especially to a beginner?

"Oh, but it's a technical detail!" does not make what I said a false argument -- you are extrapolating for the sake of "being right".

Technically correct, famously the best kind of correct. Context be damned.
