I would recommend a distro like Pop OS, which has a rolling release and it has a really easy to use GNOME DE, which i would recommend for new linux users. Another pro for the Pop os is that you can download the drivers preloaded (if you have a nvidia video card) it makes the setup progress easy. Overall it has little to no bloat on the install, which makes it a clean distro. It's based on Ubuntu which is a deriviative of debian, so you can almost run anything you want on it.

When it comes to running games, your distrobution doesn't matter. A few years ago maybe, but now as long as your specific distro has support for software like Proton or Wine, you'll be fine.

Although, it's a good idea to make sure your kernel is at the most update-to-date version it can be. Linux Kernel 5.11 just released yesterday, and it has some RISC-V, Zen2/Zen3, and RTX 30 series support. Also make sure your other packages are updated of course.

Manjaro is pretty good for games i think. Some linux distro have a broader support for games than others.

Cracked games are usually garbage, you cant play online or save.

I use Mint - Really user Friendly and doesn't break after an update. - Unless it was intentional.
Mint seems to run any Game I throw at it, regardless of Steam Linux Binaries, it runs Games in Wine without much effort, you can basically get any game working under Wine And Proton. - if you do enough Research on the WineHQ and figure the Bugs out.

It's also true that some games under GNU/Linux "Emulation" Run Smoother than Native Windows.

Yes, but when people talk about running games on linux, they dont mean emulating them through wine.
You can run almost any game through wine but not natively.
Also, running games on wine may get your account permbanned since its illegal, but its up to you.

Depends which games, to be fair. I'm assuming you mean FPS/MOBAs, which tend to have anticheat.

Games that you emulate through wine. Its not like you can get banned from steam for playing games on steam that have support for linux games. The games that you could get banned for would rather be games that dont have support for linux. The part where it gets 'illegal' is when a game producer dont want, or havent given permissions for linux to run them, but you run them anyway.

As you may guess, i cant list all the given games that you can and cant get banned in since i dont play every game, and obviously, not every game take action against it, but that is not an argument in itself.
