I suggest Cinnamon Ubuntu for a combination of Mint and Ubuntu and the best of both worlds. It's got the Mint Windows like front end, with Ubuntu in the back. Most help online is for Ubuntu anyway and it's better with games imo.

My partner is a gamer and this is what I'm bringing him in on this summer.

This is already too jargon filled for a new user and overwhelming. I already went through this with my partner who told me off for it lol.

Sounds like Mint but worse.
