Loving PopOS but apparently I can't get the latest Nvidia driver? (Your regularly scheduled "What Distro should I use" thread) (ttrpg.network)

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.
