Perhaps it would be useful to list some alternatives?
Bazzite for gaming. If you don't want immutable, a lot of people have been recommending CachyOS lately.
Interesting — how easy are they to install compared to Mint, and would there be a way for Mint friends (I have a NixOS config for my fleet, and run our shared services) to easily migrate?
I can only speak to Bazzite, but it's super easy to install. GUI installer, walks you through it step by step.
People might say that you are restricted with Bazzite, but that isn't really true. You can do pretty much anything you can do on an non-immutable OS, it's just a different process. You just use rpm-ostree instead of dnf. Tons of shit on google if you search.
