They're all basically the same dude. They're all GNU/Linux. You have 2 main distros: Debian and Arch. Fedora is a kind of inbetween, there's SUSE as well, but mostly it's all Debian and Arch.

Basically every distro is based on either arch or debian (some exceptions). I've been perfectly happy with debian, even as a gamer.
