Which distros have the most hardware support?
Ultimately, they're all the same. If you want to play games and have an easy life, ask these questions:
This recommendation is correct if you have an Nvidia GPU.
If you have an AMD or Intel GPU, being even more bleeding edge on the Kernel and Mesa (open source GPU drivers) is better and as a relative beginner Manjaro is probably the best choice.
You only need to "Avoid" Debian if you are a real beginner. Adding the non-free repo and installing firmware from there requires adding just a couple lines to sources.list then installing certain packages.
