It’s time for the time-worn question. Which Linux should I choose?

I have experience running Ubuntu both as an install and through WSL, and I’ve been in charge of multiple Linux servers, one RedHat and a few Ubuntu. So I’m not afraid of some fiddling. Though I will say, I’d like it to just work most of the time. That’s why I’m here.

Typical use case for my computer is I have a ~40" ancient TV and a ~22" monitor to the side. I often put videos or something on the small monitor and play games on the TV. Most of my games are FitGirl repacks or otherwise from the seas. I know Linux gaming has come a long way, but would this be an issue? Also, I like that I can turn the second monitor on and off easily through the UI with WinKey + P.

Aside from that, anything can do what I want it to. I dabble with some programming here and there, etc.

Thanks in advance for your input. I’m honestly just tired and don’t feel like doing all the research myself at the moment.
