Suggestions for a distro with a nvidia 50xx (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi!

First, I'd like to apologize for asking the age-old question yet again.

I'm running Bazzite right now with a 50-series nvidia, and have no real complaints. I did manage to bork up coolercontrol pretty nicely, though, and am going to use it as an excuse to try another distro (and update my m.2 while I'm at it).

My knowledge level is not terrible, but I prefer spending more time gaming than tweaking.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

I made the switch recently. I tried Pop and Bazzite, but neither worked out of the box for me. I switched to Nobara, and then found out I was using Gamemode incorrectly, so I don't know if that was causing my problems, or if Nobara does something differently.

Since then, Protondb has had all the tinkering tips I've needed, which is generally just copy and paste.

Good to know - thanks!
