i know what you are going through, i am going to install linux on my current pc (when i worked up enough bravery... well at least i already created the boot media). I have already experience selfhosting services with Debian (in the time before Docker), but since gaming is what this PC is built for and i have a NVidia card that´s a pretty poor choice from what i gathered here.
Over the last few months i was thinking about going with Pop_OS ("i really really didn't like Gnome the last time i had to deal with it"), then Arch ("Do i really want to shoot myself in the foot? There's archinstall, but i really don't want to tinker too much on this machine..."), and now i settled for Nobara (the "gaming" Fedora so to speak, using KDE per default).
I'm now 99% sure that it should be the right one for me, but the thought of doing it makes me quite nervous.
i'm still looking for alternatives for a few windows programs; the main one i will miss dearly is Playnite. There seems to be nothing that offers the integration of all my libraries, my ROMs and emulators, automatic downloading of metadata and boxart, achievements, start scripts for games ... i could go on forever :-(
