Linux is Linux.  there is really no such thing as a gaming distro   Some distros, like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, *buntu, Mageia & Arch have newer mesa drivers if you have an AMD GPU

A raspberry pi, a USB powered soundbar & a riser so I can put my ps4 and wiiu under my monitor.

You're only stupid when you don't ask

MACOS 10.5+ is certified Unix compliant, all versions of OSX technically are but apple didn't pay the fee to put the branding on OSX <10.5.
 
Linux is a clone of minux, which is a Unix like kernel.

Just threw a 1Tb Seagate sshd I had lying aroung in a USB3 enclosure

I use fedora on my computer. It has been awhile since I tried elemtary, but it's Pantheon DE was pretty limited.  It had terminal so you could install synaptic and such, but KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE & LXDE are much more capable DEs

Less aapplications is kinda true, but they have everything pretty well covered.  some exclusive stuff that I still miss.  I wouldn't go that far on gaming.  Their are defendantly less games, but certainly a variety made for Mac.  I use AMD on linux by choice, nvidia does make the best graphics- but AMD is perfectly fine.  UI being outdated is your opinion.

Proprietary GFX driver can be problematic and hard to support on Linux period.  I have an old 650ti & an RX480, both use mesa drivers brilliantly

oh you say you want something that isnt one of the big 3, well i would say reactos is too similar to windows, and BSD is too similar to linux since they are both UNIX and POSIX compliant, so i would say, TempleOS. 
Also for anyone who is saying things like chromeOS, android x86 and steamOS, those are all linux. Also i dont see why you cant just use some form of linux, or some other POSIX compliant OS. 

Separate SSDs is easier
Install  windows first
Windows uses localtime, not UTC/GMT- so tell Linux to use localtime as well
