Bit of a weird reason to recommend a distro for me though? Isn't installing drivers (even Nvidia) basically just the same as Windows these days?
The difference with Pop OS in particular is that they offer installation ISOs with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers preinstalled, meaning you don't have to fuss with installing them at all.
Yea I get that. But installing them is far from the troublesome experience it used to be, isn't it? It's just a one-click installer that generally "just works" these days?
Depends. On Ubuntu? Sure. On Wayland Arch? Good luck.
