I tried Bazzite first and switched to Garuda after. Both were easy and good for gaming.

Garuda is a gaming focused Arch distro. Super easy and works great. It’s what I switched to after Bazzite.

I would get ear infections as a kid with cows milk, goat was fine.

I use the xfce version and it’s pretty bare bones. Other than a background image I replaced, it didn’t have any annoying UI stuff in it. It still runs all the gaming stuff just fine out of the box.

If anyone likes Bazzite but doesn’t want the immutability, Garuda is also gamer focused and easy.

Haven’t tried Cachy, but can vouch for Garuda being stable and easy.
