What are people using for Linux gaming/streaming? Which distro(s)? X11 or Wayland? Lutris? I'd really love to figure this out for myself, but there seems to always be something not working.

I've always just used (x)ubuntu and debian w/X11. never needed to muck with Lutris but that may be more because of my taste in games
I'm using Ubuntu on X11 and never put any thought into it. I've got a Win10 partition if I really need it, but usually only boot into windows like 4 times a year
Gentoo and X11 here, mostly Steam but have dabbled with Lutris. In general it just kinda works? I tend to stay away from Wayland because of lack of compatibility with some work apps I use.
It really depends on what your gaming diet consists of.
I've mainly been trying to use Gentoo this entire time, but run into issues I can't figure out, such as FFXIV not accepting any mouse input, or Diablo 4 just simply not wanting to start at all. I'm not sure what piece I'm missing. :/ I'd like to keep using it, but I'm getting stonewalled.
Oh yeah, Gentoo can definitely be quirky as an out of the box experience.
Typically, the fault might lie with Wine/Proton, so I usually hit protondb first and read up on what others are saying about a game's functionality, and if there are any fixes.
