Linux Mint is good if your hardware is supported by whatever version of the Linux kernel it happens to be on. I think the latest version of Mint comes with kernel version 6.14, or at least can be upgraded to that. Generally speaking, you might want to avoid any LTS/point-release distributions like Mint if you have a very new GPU, but otherwise, Mint is fine.
There are more gaming-focused distributions, but you don't need them. Performance might be marginally better because of some obscure optimizations, but game compatibility doesn't very much from one distribution to another, especially if you're using Steam (which will give you the same versions of Proton on every distribution, and will run games in its own runtime environment unless you force it not to).
