Basically, I have a laptop (5800H/RTX3050) and Windows is irritating me to no end. I am thinking of completely formatting it and replacing it with whatever distro can give me the best gaming compatibility. For reference, I play - CS:GO, DoTA, Asphalt, and a little bit of Overwatch.

I was thinking of Arch since SteamOS is based on it but would like your opinion on it.

    Arch is great, but it can be a bit much for someone to jump straight into. It’s definitely gotten easier in the past few years, but there can be quite a bit of optimization to do to bring gaming performance up to (or past) Windows levels.

    My recommendation for a newcomer would be Nobara. It’s a version of Fedora heavily customized specifically for gaming, and it’s run by a developer who does a ton of work for the Linux gaming scene (all hail GloriousEggroll).
