Let us know which one came out best for you.

I'm interested to hear about it.

I will surely let you know. I will get to it in a week or so

Please do, and remember to write your thoughts on each distro as you use it, it'll just become a blur of "things I didn't like, but can't remember why" if you don't

Yes of course! I intend to make a detailed post about my findings to help out anyone else who is interested. Here is what I'm gonna do:
Use Ventoy on USB1 and have all the ISOs im gonna test
USB2 will have a MULTIMC LAUNCHER (Minecraft) with shaders and without (to find out both cpu and gpu performance)
i5 7200U 8gb ram Intel HD 620 machine with a 512gb HDD machine
I will run the same version of the game on all distros without making any modifications to the de settings. I will run KDE on all distros that ship with it (if given the choice)

To ensure a fair test, A new world will be created each time with seed: linusDROPtips
I will share my personal experience as well.

if your games run like crap, no OS or distros are gonna save you.

You can get performance boosts on certain hardware while running games on proton. It just works better!

 

And btw, you can try to use Ubuntu based distros without Canonical shenanigans like Mint or Pop!_OS (which i use).

 

I don't recommend Manjaro because of how they manage their packages and how that interferes with AUR.

Do you have any requests of things I should test on each distro? I posted what I wanted to test above. I will be happy to try and do what you want

Not really requests, you just seem to be taking a sensible approach with the intention of learning something - your experiences will be able to help others here if well documented.

Of all the tests I've seen, Nobara wins the raw performance battle for gaming every time.
