Choose whatever is best for you.
That being said, as a Linux user I always appreciate a native Linux version of a game that runs well and is updated promptly.
As far as I know, there are game engines that make it easier to publish on many platforms, but I'm no expert.
My advice: try them all, then decide. They are all free. Most offer live systems. It will only cost you time, which will be well spent learning.

Personally, since proton got so good and heroic can just use any version of proton installed, I've began to buy GOG games again and run them through heroic. 99% of the time they just run OK. But of course I do my due diligence and check protondb before making a purchase.

KDE has given me the desktop I need for the past few years. Hyprland isn't a desktop environment, as far as I know.
Before KDE I used Cinnamon on Linux Mint. It was functional, but after many years I wanted a change.
Use whatever suits your needs. In my experience, KDE and Cinnamon are the most complete desktop environments without having to install extensions or extra software. Both are mature, have large communities behind them, and release incremental updates frequently. Those are my criteria for a good desktop environment.
And that's why I don't use flatpaks. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.
Maybe?
Unyo works for manga, too.
