I think this is a bit misleading.

Most or at least the majority of distros offer the proprietary nvidia driver.

Pop, Zorin, Ubuntu, Garuda, etc just bundle it in the install media as an option.

I definitely had much less issues with my Nvidia card on pop os than I did with any of the other like 5 distros I tried.

have been using various distros over the years and never had issues with the nvidia driver on any of them 🤷‍♂️

Elementary OS didn't work for me (broke during install -- people online said it was video drivers), and on mint and Ubuntu gaming wasn't working exactly right. In pop os 85% of my games run though

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
