The best way to play, but I have to say, I get more satisfaction from playing around with WINE, DXVK, ESYNC etc... and seeing a game that I would not otherwise have been able to play, running on Linux. Especially since I didn't spend any monetary resources to try and get said games to run. ;)
Can't wait to see the other parts, but Ubtuntu was the wrong fucking distro to use for showing Linux gaming to beginners. At least pick a distro which has a kernel upgrade utility GUI out of the box.
Depends on the use case. If you are a newb, then any distro which does it best to provide you with as many visual tools for different tasks as possible, such as Mint, or has maintainers which put an extra emphasis on improving the gaming experience on Linux, such as Solus.
If you already know what you are doing though, then go for a rolling distro to get access to the newer kernels and graphics drivers faster, and without having to undertake additional steps, like adding an unofficial repository etc...
Manjaro is what I use. It's rolling (I'm on testing branch) and has some great GUI tools builtin for upgrading the kernel and other stuff.
