Manjaro or Pop!_OS for Steam games? - eviltoast

Gentlemen, just for context, I usually use Linux. I have been a user of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora for a few years.

Recently, I acquired a decent graphics card (GeForce RTX 4070) and decided to uninstall my Windows and install Linux.

I saw that Pop!_OS already has an image with everything pre-configured for Nvidia. Is this pre-configuration worth it, are the games more stable on this distribution, or is it the same as manually installing Nvidia’s proprietary drivers on Manjaro?

    New hardware from the last 1-2 years or you want to take advantage of new software features quickly? Use a rolling release distro like Arch or Fedora or one of their derivatives. EndeavourOS is a great place to start with Arch if you don’t want to manually install things. On the Fedora side I’ve heard good things about Nobara and Bazzite.

    Hardware older than 2y? Use literally anything.
