Spending over an hour of research trying to figure out which distribution of Linux I should pick. I primarily do a lot of gaming on my PC with some writing. I also have a storage drive attached to my PC that I have a bunch of movie stored on to. I'm not entirely motivated to try out each distribution to see which I like, so I would want to see what people think about which version is best.

I think Ubuntu would be what I would look at for gaming. I use Debian which has a slower release cycle. Ubuntu seems to have the support for things before Debian. It also seems to be popular and supported by commercial end user software makers more than other distributions.

All this assumes you want to install software and have it work with minimal fuss. If you care deeply enough and want to put the work in you could make any distribution into a gaming system.
