Imo. You shouldn’t worry about “which distro is best for gaming” since they are all the same under the hood (mostly). There are no real performance benefits with different distros, so just pick one that feels and looks the best for you. I’ve heard that PopOS seems to be quite friendly for newcomers so it should be a good place to start exploring.

I’m pretty sure someone thought

Man it would be nice if horses were faster

I’d say the same is true for terminal emulators.

Or

At the end of the day it’s a black box where you can type commands. If thats all you need than you need anything else.

A terminal is a terminal. If there is a feature you don’t know you need then you don’t need it. Run with whatever you have
