Dropping by to throw some more praise onto the pile for Nobara Linux - it's my current distro and I have an AMD RX 6700 as well. All the games in my Steam library work great, including Baldur's Gate 3 (no tweaks necessary other than enabling the latest GE-Proton version). Unfortunately I haven't played any of the games you listed; my preferences lean mostly towards RPGs like Elden Ring, Path of Exile, Guild Wars 2, Valheim (with mods!), Enderal and so on.

As a complete casual Linux user (made the switch last year), all the games I previously played on Windows work on Linux smoothly with minimal or no intervention on my part. Even started fiddling with emulators - Legend of Zelda BotW on yuzu worked right out of the box
Seconded for Nobara, gaming is a smooth experience with it
A note for folks who didn't know this - if you're using kbin, when you search for lemmy communities to subscribe to you should remove the ! from the search query (eg, use [email protected] instead of [email protected]). This way you will find the community instead of related posts.
Thank you! Today I started my first adventure into emulating and I had a few hiccups along the way. Most of the links I found for troubleshooting were from the subreddit r/yuzu, which was closed. I'm still impressed how BotW worked right off the bat - was expecting the Linux experience to hit me, but lately things just... work!
I use the Steam version with the
