I'm seriously considering switching, but every thread about how 'easy' it is always devolves into a bunch of arcane computer-speak that I'm really not interested in learning at this point. I really just use my PC for web browsing and simracing/gaming these days, and I don't want to need a computer science degree to do that.

Ah, get a mainstream distro like Mint or Fedora, throw Steam on it and start gaming.
-
Honestly? Get a second device when installin/using linux, you'll need it for browsing when you get stuck. Otherwise its alot of clicking until your brain does as well.

Linux will win in the end!

Come on debian, maybe we can make it back into the top 5 when trixie gets an official release.
-
People generally want something closer to cutting edge / bleeding edge for games. Can't be waiting 6 months for graphics drivers that fix an issue in a game you are playing today.
-
Debian is great but it’s not really ideal for gaming. Way out of date mesa and kernel packages.

Finally the year of linux
-
Arch best for gaming?
-
All of the major distros run games with comparable performance. Some make setup a little more convenient than others in certain cases, like if you need a bleeding-edge kernel for just-released hardware.
Pick a desktop distro that you like working with. Chances are it can run games just fine even if it needs a few tweaks.

I had a fantastic experience with Garuda setting things up for ging out of the box. I just had to change from its ugly global KDE theme.
