I'm going to be building a new computer soon for myself. (Going AMD for the first time, since intel microcode issue.)

I would say I'm an expert or advanced user, as been using pcs for 25 years and set up arch and slackware in the past. I have tried many distros and would like some feedback.

I mainly use my pc for gaming. I want something customizable, KDE ish, and without bloatware. A good wiki is a plus.

I think that i may end up with arch... is it better for gaming since it's bleeding edge and isn't steamos built off it?

Side question is distro chooser accurate?

It does take space on the hard drive. Can easily remove desktop shortcuts. Telemetry on open source software doesn't usually happen without consent and you can turn it off (Firefox for example).

This is more of a feeling type thing. If it makes you feel good though, go ahead.
