Pop_OS I not very good at gaming. Try looking into Gardua Linux and Bazzite as they have more modern packages and faster driver updates.

Or Manjaro. Arch purist weeaboos hate it, but it's made in Germany, is amazing for gaming and has very fast driver updates. Additionaly, the installation is super simple and fast.

In my experience Manjaro only has problems when you use AUR dependencies break because some package hasn't been updated for Manjaro. Other than that, it's perfect for me.

I personally use cachyOS as a daily driver (I got tired of Arch) and it is pretty good performance wise, I just experience a lot of stability problems compared to gardua or bazzite. Still stand by my choice, its an amazing distro.
