Basically the title. Loving PopOS as my daily, but I understand that PopOS uses their own process and makes sure that only a checked driver gets wide release. Great for stability, less great for playing games that just came out. Is there a distro that this community generally recommends for gaming?

Here’s my takes:
- Ubuntu and derivatives are just FINE
- Fedora derivatives have been problematic since F38 for various reasons
- Arch is very good, has an immense of knowledge in their docs and forums, but requires you be already adept to keep it rolling smoothly
- Endeavor is supposed to be an easier to manage Arch experience, but I’m not sure you’ll be escaping any Nvidia issues.

Fedora is fine, but you want to use flatpak firefox to get easy hardware accelerated video decoding if you’re on an AMD GPU.
I have a lot of love lost with canonical and their shenanigans over the years.
