I'm so happy to see some big channels doing these Linux tests. I know it's probably way more difficult since there are thousands of distros to try!

You don't need to test every distro.

Honestly you could capture 90 percent of the market with just arch and Debian/Ubuntu.

You could add 2 or 3 of the gaming focused distros for comparison however since they tend to be built on top of the two above things are more likely going to vary based on configuration more than which distro or de you are using.

Lets be real, Ubuntu/Arch is the way to go. Debian is just not present on gaming set ups, Arch is close to what Valve is doing and Ubuntu has like 69 downstream distros.
