Since PopOS isn’t really going anywhere since 2022. I’m looking for a new distro that out of the box works with Nvidia and is optimized for gaming. I looked at Bazzite and CachyOS. Does anyone have experience with these?

I’ve been daily driving CachyOS for a while now. It’s fast, and I like the rolling release model. It pretty much worked with my 4070 out of the box I believe, I don’t think I had to do anything special there. I started with Cinnamon as my DE, but eventually moved to Gnome (Cinnamon still uses X11 I believe, and there were things that just worked better with Wayland, and with a handful of extensions, I can get it to look the way I like).
That being said, I wouldn’t recommend it to people less comfortable with Linux. CachyOS has its own repositories (which is the whole idea, the software is compiled specifically for more modern hardware), but it can sometimes be confusing when choosing packages to install. The wiki is pretty helpful though, especially with getting games up and running.
So basically I have to try it. Thanks :)
