I'd suggest trying Nobara and/or Garuda - both are absolutely easymode to install from a USB stick, and are specifically configured for gaming, but have a pretty different look and feel.

I've been using Solus since 2017, and have been happy with it. Solus is focused on the use case of an "ordinary home desktop user", and is remarkably stable and reliable. Solus is a curated rolling release, which means that Solus is always up to date, but nothing is... Source: 11 months ago

The main Solus website (getsol.us) is back online. DataDrake also updated it with some of the changes she's been working on. In the next few days she's going to go back to the datacenter to bring the rest of the infrastructure online. Source: about 1 year ago
