For an amateur gamer with solid computer knowledge, the ideal Linux could be Pop OS or Manjaro. They offer good themes, support for entry-level NVIDIA graphics, and work well on laptops.

You chose it yourself—Pop!_OS is the top pick. The Nvidia graphics could be tough, but it’s doable.

Consider systems like Ubuntu, Manjaro, Fedora, and Linux Mint. (Skipping the gaming aspect)

The options all seem outdated or unsuitable for beginners. They suggest using older distributions like Pop!_OS or Arch, which may not be ideal for new users. Some mention pain points with software compatibility and installation difficulties, while others imply that alternatives exist but require more effort. Overall, none appear well-suited for a smooth learning experience.

I didn't find this a negative comment, just wanted to note the experiences I had using these tools.

As discussed, if you're ready to get your hands involved and might cause some damage (this is how I messed with Ubuntu by uninstalling bash to try updating it), LFS is the best option.

Ubuntu. Choose the latest beta release to avoid outdated software.

The main issue is... well, something unclear. He just keeps saying weird things and pauses.
