I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

    How old is your PC? Do you game via Steam?
    If it is younger than 10 years, any desktop oriented distro will work equally well.
    In that case, I’d recommend Mint, just because it is the best beginner distro overall.
    If you have less than 4GB of RAM, Debian with Xfce would run faster.

    If it’s older, then there’s a (small, but getting larger with age) chance it is limited to 32bit architecture or 32bit UEFI.
    Then your choice of distros becomes slim, but MX Linux would be a good choice.
