Jellyfin

Jellyfin is a personal media server.

Personally the distros I use most are Pop_OS!, Ubuntu, and Arch. Pop_OS! For home use usually just works. I run it on my HTPC for couch gaming, hosting some basic media services (like jellyfin), and running a Minecraft server. Ubuntu is the go-to for professional work as it is supported by nearly everything. Arch is what I use on my daily driver laptop (not for gaming). Despite being bleeding edge I find that I have less issues with updates in Arch and spend less time maintaining the distro once it is up and running. I don't recommend it unless you are comfortable with the commandline, though. I also cannot comment on how it works with gaming, but seeing as it is used as the base for SteamOS, I assume it works decently well.

EndeavourOS

An Arch-based distro with a dynamic and friendly community in its core

I recommend against using Manjaro. The leadership behind it has consistently made poor choices that have lead to issues affecting not just Manjaro but other distros as well. This and this have some more information on why you might want to reconsider using Manjaro. Both recommend using EndeavourOS instead as it also uses Arch Linux as the base but provides any easy to use GUI installer.

Legendary

A free and open-source Epic Games Launcher alternative

I've since moved to manually writing the scripts using Legendary but I'm also a massive nerd so if you're still interested in touching grass, option 1 is probably the best.
