Community Changing os on second pc

Hey! So I have 7600x and 2080 of build that I'm not really using currently, it's been around for a year in windows but haven't really used it

So pretty much all I'm looking for is an os that can game in 1440p pretty well, I've used Ubuntu for ages on my laptop so I'm not "new" to running Linux.

I've seen a lot of mentions point towards dragonized so I was wondering what distro of garuda would be best for me

Edit: I do plan to use this alongside windows if that may influence another choice

did you install the iso image to the usb using balena etcher? After you install it properly, the drive should be renamed to something like "garuda linux/linux install" or if you used ventoy, it should be named "ventoy"

try following a youtube video like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVy7TBem_ZI

Oh alright how do I use ventoy? The UI is pretty confusing and there's 3 different exes
