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.

Instead of Manjaro, if the goal is to use an Arch Linux based distros, EndeavourOS is a good option. It us popular, more user friendly then arch, sticks pretty close to Arch main, the community seems friendly, and offers ways to customize your software install on first-boot
