Hard disagree. Gaming is the task that needs the most complicated setup with lots of pitfalls – kernel version, GPU drivers, X11 vs. Wayland, even your DE can affect how many issues you’ll have.
IMO if you want to play any games at all, use a distro set up specifically for gaming, to let someone else do all that work for you.
For all other tasks you’ll do with your PC, a “gaming” distro will be just as good as any other.
