I’m moving away from Windows and I’m looking for distro for coding and occasional gaming. If more context is needed please let me know.

    The problem with this is that most people will choose a distro based on the default desktop enviroment.

      When you just starting in linux and thinking of switching this can be a good thing. I think its better for users to choose and learn on there own instead of recommending them specific distro.

        I’m not saying choosing based on the desktop environment is a bad thing. I’m just saying that it’s better to recommend something like Fedora and let people choose a spin instead. The desktop environment is a lot more important when starting out. The user can then decide to switch to a different distro after having gained a bit more experience / knowledge about the inner workings of Linux distributions.
