Keep noticing that when taking about Linux distro recommendations (on Reddit) users recommend Mint and Ubuntu for gaming.

Now don't get me wrong, they're great distros and with a bit of work are great for games, but I feel like theres better recommendations for new users looking into getting into gaming on linux.

I keep seeing Pop!_OS brought up for gaming.

    I've been using Pop for a few months as my daily driver to replace Windows. It had been a few years since I'd used Linux and I wanted something stable for Nvidia drivers. I've had next to no issues with it.

    Mint lets you install Nvidia drivers pretty easily nowadays. My surfacebook 2 has a 1050 mobile built in and it couldn't have been easier to get the drivers installed.

    Ubuntu I don't recommend, nor Pop_OS simply due to Snaps. Where as flatpak is the standard built into Mint.
