I really enjoy archlinux so I was thinking on downloading garuda gaming but I'm unsure if that's the way to go. What distro do you guys use? Have you encontered many problems with it?

I found the distro really doesn't matter much anymore for gaming specifically. You'll install the same or similar tools for gaming no matter if using Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian etc.

For gaming it sometimes can be useful to have more current Software especially if playing new games since issues might only be fixed on the latest version.

But aside from that one part I think you should go with the distro you generally prefer and game on that.

Do you have any specific tools/software I should install?

It will matter if your packages are so out of date that you can't run any games on it. Had this issue when I used KDE neon what uses an Ubuntu LTS release
