I would probably recommend Bazzite as a gaming (and user-friendly, in many ways) OS alternative instead of Pop!_OS.
It is very simple to set up and use, and comes with multiple gaming-related tweaks by default.
I installed Bazzite on a spare SSD (USB-C NVMe enclosure) I had at home to test-drive it on my gaming rig and I’m almost using it daily now. I will likely get rid of my Windows 11 install on my larger SSD. Some of my games that were stuttering for some unknown reason aren’t stuttering at all on Bazzite.
On a technical level, I really like the concept of atomic images for the OS. The installation process has sane defaults, but it nonetheless let me set up some stuff like LUKS encryption, and other stuff the average user wouldn’t bother with.
Only thing that doesn’t work with it is my ancient Logitech G13.

Yup. Saw the Bazzite group presentation at SCALE a few weeks ago. Very impressive.
