    debian is not that up to date, so it might cause problems for gaming

    neither are ubuntu-based debian-based distros (mint, pop_os)

    debian cycle is 2 years, ubuntu cycle is 6 months

    opensuse tumbleweed is similar to debian but is very up to date (and less unstable than other rolling release distros), it updates packages in the repo every 6 hours i think

    If you like gaming and aren't fussed about the other stuff, Bazzite and CatchyOS are gaming tailored distros that are probably worth a look.

    First I've heard of it, there's so many distros.

    Fair enough, I'm still trying to figure out most of them myself. It's just the first first distro I used that my son set up for me. It's a gaming oriented Fedora with KDE and comes preloaded with stuff for playing games. It did seem like it was working pretty well for a lot of stuff, but I went against my son's advice and started trying to learn the terminal and borked some stuff, so he switched me to vanilla Fedora and now I'm missing stuff I need to run some of the games. I don't know if anybody else has used it much it that has had any experience. Like I said I'm only on my second distro myself.
