I play a lot on my Steam Deck these days, but the main battlestation is just a regular old upper midrange workhorse. R5 5600x, RX 6700xt, 32GB of DDR4 3600 and a few terabytes of NVME storage.
I’m still just using vanilla Arch because I haven’t found anything better for an enthusiast desktop.
I think the only part where I kind of cut against the grain is that I’m running Gnome. It does what I want with minimal tweaking and it handles my FreeSync monitor without any headaches. It also just looks pretty, and I’m not about to pretend I don’t like eye candy on the desktop.
EDIT: Forgot to shill for the case I’m using: A P-ATX. I really wanted a small form factor computer, but I also think ATX motherboards are a better deal than ITX, so this seemed like a good option. When I bought it, the only other thing that came close (from Thermaltake) was out of stock, so I ended up with this and I’m actually really liking it, despite it being a pain in the ass to assemble.
