I want something that's stupid easy to install, requires no setup, and has recording and gaming functionality from the beginning. I constantly see people shitting on ubuntu for semi-valid reasons, and I'm open to stable alterantives.

I'm installing it on this laptop :

NB : This is for mission critical etc laptop. This will be my only daily driver computer, stability is the topmost priority.

BONUS POINTS : If it's debian based so I can run solarus : https://solarus-games.org/

I really appreciate this comment. I tried bazzite and wow, it made me realise that I do feel comfortable with debian, and that's what I should stick to when installing linux. It also made me feel that I have some investment and capability with working on debian.

So, while it wasn't for me, it was very valuable for me to try it. It is probably good for people who want to have a simple, gaming focused experience, and you should recommend it to people who are looking for a gaming experience .
