Before I say anything, I think Gamer’s Nexus only testing with Bazzite makes a ton of sense. It would be silly to expect them to test with Windows S, N, Pro, LTSC, etc as well.
Lets be real, Ubuntu/Arch is the way to go.
The distinction between Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian are pretty minor as far as gaming goes. They are all considered the same family for a reason.
Debian is just not present on gaming set ups
Linux Mint (a Debian-based distro) and Ubuntu (also Debian-based) are extremely popular in gaming setups. In fact, the steam hardware survey has Mint 22.2, Ubuntu Core 22, Ubuntu 24, and Mint 22.1 as the second, third, fourth, and fifth most common Linux OSes.
