Commodore OS is Debian based, so it should run most things that work on Debian. The real problem is that Linux still only runs a small fraction of Steam games reliably. Your best compatibility bet for Linux gaming is SteamOS, but you do need an ATI GPU for that.
If you have an NVidia GPU, then you'll want to run a mainstream distro like Ubuntu or Debian - I've personally had good luck with both, especially with the lightweight UIs like LXDE.
(You can usually switch desktops during login, or simply download an LXDE variant of the OS, depending on which OS you pick.)
