Having used many distros (gaming-oriented and otherwise) Nobara would be my recommendation as well.

People saying “doesn’t matter” aren’t reading between the lines that this is someone who isn’t familiar with Linux and would probably benefit from an out-of-the-box gaming ready distro (nvidia drivers ready, rgb drivers built in for gaming laptops, other gaming specific tweaks and fixes that they won’t know to install on say mint, a perfectly fine, general use distro). Not to say they wouldn’t be able to do all that on mint or Ubuntu or whatever with a bit of googling and effort, but they’re asking specifically for gaming.
