What Distros Should I be Considering For my Old win10 Gaming Laptop? (lemmy.world)

I've got an old win10 laptop. It's nothing fancy in 2025, but I use it now and then while traveling, just to have a proper computer on hand. It's time to move it over to Linux, and I have A LITTLE Linux experience. I work in software dev, so I know my way around CLI, but I don't have much firsthard experience, other than occasionally using Kali for offsec tools. What are the distros I should be considering for a personal gaming laptop for occasional use for both gaming and occasional general use? Why?

does bazzite have good battery management?

Last time I installed Linux on a laptop, it kinda thrashed my battery health.

It seems reasonably good, I don't think it does anything special over what the latest linux kernel already does, and that has improved over time.

Not quite as good as windows is, but pretty close in my experience.
