I see bazzite mentioned a lot here, but wasn't there a post here a while ago saying that it might stop existing if fedora pushes through with the decision to ditch 32bit support? Did they decide not to do it after all?

I think they decided not to, with some (IMO fairly) snarky comment on how that was just a proposal and people were getting needlesely outraged.
I recently made the switch. Running intel ultra 5 and nvidia rtx 5060. Bazzite and Pop!_OS were advertised as working, out of the box. I couldn't get either to work, following the wiki setup guides. I tried Ubuntu, couldn't get that working, either.
I switched to Nobara, and learned that I was messing up gamemoderun in Steam. So I have no idea if Nobara fixed my issues, or if I was messing something up the whole time, or maybe a little of both. It was fun, though! Absolutely glad to be done with windows.
I am still very happy with CachyOS. That'd be my recommendation. Nobara / Bazzite are good options, too, but I never tested them.
linux mint.
Of course you should - Do a dual boot as a test on whatever rig you're currently using. Easy to undo and it costs you exactly zero.
The amount of these posts make me happy.
I use Nobara on my laptop which has rtx 3060 6gb with ryzen 7 5800h. Sure Nvidia sucks on every linux distro, but you will get many quality of life improvements when using linux instead of windows.
Btw, Nobara is just Fedora with some good gaming related chages.
CachyOS since you're using fedora for 3 years
Nobara is good, it's fedora but with better nvidia driver stuff out of the box.
I'm a simple man who use Mint on my gaming PC. No issues. Everything worked out of the box.
Oh you have Nvidia ? Try out PopOS, they have a special ISO file with Nvidia drivers
I have a very similar build as yours, just with a RTX 3090 instead. I switched to Pop!_OS about a year and a half ago, and it's been running like a charm ever since.
