Fedora is "the gaming" distro and perfect for Linux beginner confirmed (at least for me) (self.linux4noobs)

why? because it's not triggering an obscure anti cheat on a game I've been playing when using wine (performance is still the same tho), everything else is just work no missing dependencies and it's doesn't get in my way like other distros (I tried Arch, Opensuse, Ubuntu, Debian), just to clarify I'm a complete noob when it come to Linux so maybe if I know better I probably make everything works just like Fedora

They do... For the first screen of the welcome page only. When it gets to connect WiFi the keyboard nav is broken. Tabbing doesn't work.

Beyond that if you hit alt F4 to close the welcome page you get to your desktop, but Fedora doesn't come with any predefined hotkeys (or at least none of them worked on Fedora 39, if there were any - it might have been part of the welcome screen). So I couldn't open up a terminal or anything to actually get to useful controls.

After an hour of fighting with this and seeing useless forum posts I scrapped it and installed Mint, where they actually bothered to let you open up Bluetooth connection management with only a keyboard.
