The fact that you VM to game makes you a noob. As for the distro, it's all in what you want. It's perfectly okay to just move from one OS that does everything for you to another, but some people don't want that.

How so? I built my Ubuntu computer to where I am able to run a good VM.

It's okay, but it's violently overrated. I'd use something like Mint (based on ubuntu) or Debian.

Ya, it is overrated, but the good part of that is a lot of software is supported on it.
