As someone with MSI gf72 who switched last year with similar use cases and zero prior experience with Linux: I installed EndeavourOS after reading some recommendations here since its supposed to work good for games and daily use. It’s Arch so I approached it as a challenge but It turned out to be quite effortless from the start. I dual booted it for a few months without issues until Windows update broke my bootloader. After that I did a clean Linux install and never looked back. It’s been rock solid ever since. I have yet to find a game which doesn’t run either in Bottles or Lutris. Some installers have their quirks but it’s manageable. I only play single player games though. HP driver for Linux runs my printer without any fiddling from my side. I don’t get into Command Line much but it’s awesome - installing packages and updating the whole system with a simple command feels like magic. It’s actually much less hassle than Windows.
