I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?

Never saw this happening. Also wine has overhead.
Well, I’m playing Fallout: New Vegas on linux right now and it works way better than other Bethesda games I’ve played on windows. And FNV has a reputation of being really glitchy/buggy with lots of crashes. Yes, it crashed twice so far, but for 70+ hours and constant alt+tabbing it doesn’t sound that bad!
Wine doesn’t have any inherent overhead. It’s a native reimplementation of the Windows APIs (and not an emulator), so there’s no inherent overhead compared to Windows itself. It can be faster or it can be slower, but this has more to do with optimisation and implementation than anything inherent.
