with gaming as a primary. Give Endeavour (endeavouros.com) a try. That's my desktops primary use and its a cakewalk there.
The desktop becomes the option of concern, most are really similar in reality of resources (forum.endeavouros.com), it comes down to personal choice really. Some may feel snappier to you or just plan simpler or have whatever specific desktop feature you want another doesnt.
for that goal. I would honestly shy away from any RH base, Sure it can be MADE to do it, potentially, but the work effort is way too high as a desktop for gaming.
