gaming distro recommendation - Lemmy.World

My teenage son wants to try a new distro for gaming. Our family has been using pop os for years, but he wants to try something new. The main three I see are - nobara (fedora based) - garuda (arch based) - drauger (ubuntu based) The machine he’s using is a 2018 Intel nuc. It has a strong processor (core i7) but no discrete graphics. I can’t tell which (if any) of the distros above would be better or worse for his case. Reading around, it seems like Garuda might be slightly more fiddly. And, Drauger I only saw mentioned in a couple of articles, but not on this forum. Are these impressions correct? Do you have any other advice for us?!

Bazzite has the most buzz recently.
I would also recommend Bazzite, or any Ublue image, but Bazzite is the gaming one.
