Alright, I need to move my main desktop to linux. Help me decide which distribution. Note that I already run a desktop-less server on Debian, a raspi on their flavor of deb and have a laptop I rarely use on fedora (installed it to test the waters, but Mint would probably suit its use case more).

My main desktop PC is on windows and I wanna switch but im not sure which distro to switch to. The thing needs to be gaming ready for 2024 hardware. Debian is too slow to update for such a use case, I dont jive with Ubuntu philosophy, Arch is... im just not that kind of guy... so Im leaning on Fedora but I kinda dont like that it has 100 updates every time I boot it up. Is there any in between? Stable and quick with updates, but not when updates can crash the thing?

Edit: thanks for the recommendations, I'll probably check em all out!

Peppermint is worth checking out. I don't game but Debian and some extra on top. Lightweight

Microsoft Access and Publisher, the Adobe suite, VR. That's just the tip of the iceberg of why I can't completely abandon Windows, yet. I do have a handful of older PCs running Mint though, and I'll be switching over more. But not all of them.

For VR, https://lvra.gitlab.io/ is a pretty good resource for the state of VR support on Linux currently. Check their supported hardware table.

Peppermint is always left out. That is the perfect on for just working, stable and easy to move to from windows. It's also lightweight and fast.
