I mean distro only matters in so much as it’s how you get software.
Arch or Arch-based distros (except Manjaro) are nice for Nvidia bc you’re always on the latest drivers and latest wine and latest Niri. Mainly bc you get bug fixes and new features early.
That’s what I use.
Fedora is like that too, but Fedora tends to organize the system in a non-standard way, so I don’t use it. Tried for a few months. Ran into weird issues where I ended up needing to just build kernel and nvidia myself bc the COPR and main repo options just… didn’t work.
Nix can do it too but you have to deal with the static, immutable nature of everything. I like the centralized config nature but some apps just don’t work immutably.
Ubuntu and Debian distros can do it, but you might have to tweak more since they’re more stable and may not have the latest driver which you may need.
So I mean, they can all be tweaked to get the software you need. I like Arch bc of the AUR, up-to-date software, extensive documentation, and standard design, but then the risk is every now and then it’s “too up-to-date” and you get a regression, and for some people that’s too big a problem, even if it rarely happens.
