EndeavourOS is the closest to vanilla arch, so i'd recommend that. There's no good distro for gaming, as long as the packages are up to date (so no debian) it's perfectly fine.

Debian has all the packages one needs for gaming, sufficiently updated to run games just as well as the other distros. It also has a better track record of not breaking, compared to rolling distros like Arch. Please stop spreading misconceptions.

Yes and no, but I agree with the overall sentiment. Debian is entirely fine for gaming.
