The only thing i’ll add is that Distro (stuff like Ubuntu and Mint) is far less important to your overall linux experience than desktop environment (stuff like KDE Plasma and Gnome) I’d do a little more research on your own about these choices before coming to a conclusion, but the opinion of a former Windows user who has only used Mac a few times in passing is that Gnome feels a lot more like Mac than Windows. Fedora is a good, fairly user friendly Distro that supports Gnome

The CachyOS wiki gaming setup page (which is great even if you aren’t on CachyOS) recommends turning off shader pre-caching and increasing your maximum shader cache size if you’re using Proton-GE, Proton-EM, or Proton-CachyOS. Never had an issue other than the occasional small stutter when I enter a new area for the first time. https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/gaming/#pre-caching-shaders-with-proton-cachyos--ge-and--em
