I'm looking for a Linux distribution that works well for everyday school tasks and gaming. I'd especially like to play GTA Online, along with other games. What distro would be a good choice, and are there any major compatibility issues I should know about?

Bazzite is a strong gaming-focused option, but GTA Online multiplayer is the major limitation. You could also consider dual-booting Windows if GTA Online is essential, while using Linux for schoolwork and most other games.
PikaOS is another beginner-friendly choice with gaming tools set up out of the box. That said, distro choice won’t solve every compatibility problem—many games run well through Proton, but multiplayer games using kernel-level anti-cheat may not work.
Most mainstream Linux distributions can handle schoolwork and a large game library. GTA Online is generally unreliable or unavailable for normal multiplayer on Linux because of its anti-cheat requirements. Workarounds may violate the game’s terms of service and risk an account ban, so they aren’t recommended.
