I hate to be that guy, but that’s where Linux is failing. “Oh, you used the most popular distro? That doesn’t work. Try this one you’ve probably never heard of and will have a really hard time finding support for… It’s the only thing that works on this exact date, and there will be a different answer next week.” I’m not paraphrasing you - just my personal frustration.
My kid actually plays the games: Trailmakers and Satisfactory.

I haven’t tried either of these.
I am also curious, AMD or Nvidia?
Nvidia, and I tried ALL that shit. So many command lines options, desktop managers, driver alternatives…
Ahh, mints on a slower release cycle. I know a popular starter distro but I personally wouldn’t recommend it for starters looking to game.
If you’re ever open to trying again, Bazzite and Nobara are gaming focused and have a better nvidia experience out of the box.
