I just picked up a cheap older gaming PC with a GTX 1050 and and Intel I7 CPU. Trying to decide what distro to load on it for gaming. Curious that others experience is gaming on various distros.

Be aware support for 1050 on 580 version of driver is ending so rolling release distos can make u a problem when they will upgrade version higher than 580

Generally they should offer a package for older drivers, though.
