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?

On the one hand, you're right. But on the other, the fuck is Windows even doing here:

The reason why it failed was that windows put my EFI partition onto a different drive than itself.

It's windows. It always does absolutely asinine shit like this. It's only getting worse as time goes on, so the earlier you switch to a proper OS, the better.
