Gentlemen, just for context, I usually use Linux. I have been a user of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora for a few years.

Recently, I acquired a decent graphics card (GeForce RTX 4070) and decided to uninstall my Windows and install Linux.

I saw that Pop!_OS already has an image with everything pre-configured for Nvidia. Is this pre-configuration worth it, are the games more stable on this distribution, or is it the same as manually installing Nvidia's proprietary drivers on Manjaro?

The answer found here should give my general thoughts.

But, with embedded dev, I'd argue that both Aurora and Bluefin (with their respective DX: (i.e. development friendly) variants) should make more sense.

    I am mostly gaming these days but a few months a year, there is a 3d printed project with some embedded components so I'd like the distro to be relatively easy to use in those cases.

    Thanks for the explanation.
