@fireweed@sakurajima.social the biggest issue with pop is that it is tailor made for system76's computer.
If it works, it all great, but if it does not, you won't be able to do much about it.

Also, most modern distros ship with nvidia drivers now that nouveau kind of became the official one.

But yea, i recommend you stick to big-name base distros like debian, ubuntu, arch (jk), suse or fedora.
They have a lot of derivatives, especially "easy for begginers" ones, but these are often less tested, with less users and documentation in cases you need help and have some premade configurations with dubious choices.
