Last year a backdoor was discovered in the XZ Utils software used in Ubuntu. Anything is better than MS though and I wouldn't say Ubuntu is worse than any other large distro. I doubt Mint is clean but it's much lighter and a better option for most people than Windows, easy to maintain and I usually just tell people to use that. Arch is tinkering and just not realistic for most people. Every bit of control you give up for convenience though can be compromised. Like I said though if you are online though even that illusion of control is gone and you have to trust people with your data.
Gaming here are some benches in comparison to Windows.

Some distros are just better, the 9070XT is the first really good alternative to Windows I would say and a lot of that prob has to do with Steam Deck using AMD, AMD being more open than Nvidia and the community.
If you are on Nvidia you basically just have a Win install. Microwin for less bloat and telemetry is what I use on my 4090. On everything else I just have Linux.
