Pop!_OS or Manjaro for Steam games? (lemmy.world)

Context, I use Linux, usually. 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, for others reasons, decided to uninstall my Windows and install Linux.

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

I asked this same question on other communities, but only now I found a specific community for gaming on Linux. Thanks.

If gaming is a priority, I would say skip both and go with Bazzite or Nobara. Otherwise Pop!_OS is still a good OS for everyday usage including gaming. It just might not have the latest drivers all the time.
