Nothing beats Linux if you’re want control over your system. As for gaming though, you can check this website to see whether your games are compatible or not: www.protondb.com

And if your games are compatible, then look no further than Bazzite - it’s a gaming-optimised distro that just works out-of-the-box, no need to manually install any drivers and stuff (you can of course use it for non-gaming tasks too).
