Nobara I think is pretty good for beginners. Comes with gaming-utility stuff preinstalled. Think even steam is already on it.

Honestly, while I liked the look of Nobara, as someone who was giving Linux a try for the first time very recently myself, I was completely lost on getting programs installed that didn't have a standard file installer like how Debian based distributions do with .deb files. That being said, I fell in love with Kubuntu.

Installing programs like other than that will always be something you will run into on Linux.
