if you're gonna get into linux, start with Fedora or Ubuntu, they're basically the dominant distros, so the community support is going to be bigger.
Ubuntu is a bit bigger and more user-friendly, Fedora is more bleeding-edge (which makes sense since it's effectively where RedHat beta-tests all the features they want to add to RHEL )
I'm pretty good with Linux, just not gaming on Linux. I went from Ubuntu to Fedora a year or so ago as my main desktop OS. I just don't game on that machine. I may see about setting up a dual boot to at least try some games. I've used Factorio successfully, but that was just too easy it doesn't ask much of the computer.
steam works pretty good on fedora (hell, ark of all things runs pretty good, though you have to tweak the settings a bit if you don't have a screaming fast computer)
definitely look into WINE if you haven't, yet.
..and if you don't mind going basic bitch, java minecraft runs just fine since java is platform independent.. I use pollymc for simplicity (and a couple of mods I unfortunately need, controller support and one to workaround a villager trading glitch)
