Dual boot is always a thing, it doesn't have to be one or the other.

So there you have it, you either stop playing all multiplayer games (not even just competitive ones!) entirely
There's plenty of multiplayer games that run just fine on linux. Including FPS games with perfectly functional anti cheat, it's just a select few which are unfortunately very popular that actively block linux. This is the part where you put your money where your mouth is and support the games that support the system you want to game on.
Yeah i was gonna mention xcom initially but i doubt stuff like party deaths will be a thing here. This game looks like it's gonna feature full on companions, and the controls look pretty much exactly like bg3.
Those are some hot 10 seconds of footage. Looks like bg3's combat with some tactical cover.
I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.
They probably don't want the game to end, there's a certain finality that comes with an ending. I've had this happen to me for a few games and books but i usually power through.
sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.
Not just the reviewers unfortunately, games shed players at every step, it's why most games are front-loaded and fall off the further you get into them.
Ubuntu is based on Debian so regular Mint is actually 2 levels down from upstream. But Mint has started offering a Debian base recently called LMDE if you want to check it out.
As for whether Arch is bad for beginners. Kinda. It's a DIY distro, assuming you can follow tutorials and guides it's pretty straight forward, especially with the archinstall script. But if you're uncomfortable with a terminal install, you can try out EndeavourOS which features a full gui install and a few tweaks to make it easier on beginners.
Well Arch is great at what it does: getting you the latest packages of everything without needing to upgrade every 6 months or whatever; that does come at the cost of a bit less stability. There's EndeavourOS if you're uncomfortable installing from the console.
The main issue with nobara is that it's handled by a single person. Almost everything you get on nobara you can get with a few commands on the terminal in fedora; and whatever patches they have under the hood will at best get a marginal performance boost and at worst cause major crashes and issues.
Nobara is a solid choice for people that don't like to tweak their system too much because it comes with everything you need to play games from the get-go. If you're more of a power user there's very little reason to pick it over fedora or arch.
Do not get steamos lol.
Any regular desktop distribution is fine (fedora, mint...), if you have new hardware you'll want a recent kernel. Nvidia gpus can be problematic. You can always try the distro before installing.
How do I check for drivers updates manually?
Your distribution handles the packaging and distribution of your drivers, if they're not in your distribution repository you can install them manually (not recommended), use a flatpak (can be awkward), or wait.
If you want bleeding edge drivers you get a bleeding edge distribution like Arch. Fedora is good too but you will only get the latest version every 6 months and after that it's stable releases till the next fedora upgrade.
Games having access to everything i do on my pc is sheer lunacy. Let the devs sanitize their fucking inputs and not give client information the player shouldn't have access to. Anti cheat has always been an arms race, nothing, and that does include your kernel anti cheat, will ever completely stop cheaters.
