I have a 3080 with two HDR capable high refresh rate monitors and a year ago when I switched I tried Pop and Fedora both of which just launched all games to a black screen. Installed arch which finally let me run most proton games but every couple of sessions I get FPS spikes and jittering and have to restart the games.
Going to get a 9070XT and bazzite soon
I can’t say i’ve tried either of those distro’s but I chose mint because I heard it had good support for NVIDIA cards etc and wanted something easier to get into.
There was one game I have ran which I do have an issue with freezing in but I know this particular game had the same issue for some people on windows as well (though not me previously) so I don’t think it’s specifically a linux problem.
I’ve only had issues with audio on mint due to a mistake in one of the config files which didn’t allow it to recognise my sound board correctly but was fixed with a few minutes of googling thankfully.
I’ve heard bazzite is good for gaming so I hope it works well for you.
