Why not fedora? I use it with nvidia and everything works just fine. Sure you have to install nvidia drivers but that's quite literally one line to command line and you're set. Fedora nowadays let's you get closed source repos on installation

on windows you need to download the driver from the internet and install it manually. on linux you enter a command and it installs itself.

this doesn't work most of the time, and if it works, it's an ancient version of the driver.

Why? I use openSUSE Tumbleweed for gaming and it's been rock solid. Seriously, I've never really had any issues. It has its quirks, but they are easily "fixed" by adding Packman and the Nvidia repos... and running an update.
I've tried Ubuntu multiple times and it was always a shitshow disaster. Mint was OK-ish, but had Ubuntu-related silliness.
+1 for Pop_OS and their Nvidia support. I've been using Pop_OS as my gaming rig daily driver for about a year or year and a half at this point. It has pretty much worked flawlessly. Just about the only complaint I have with System76 is their app store GUI is laggy and has a tendency to bug out if you try doing anything with it before it refreshes when first being opened.
