I’m not that person but I impulse switched to Garuda (Arch-based) around 8 months ago with a 3080 and everything has just worked, the only thing I’ve had problems with is flatpak being the bane of my existence
Interesting, and good to hear they’ve managed so far. So far my “career” included Ubuntu, Mint, Arch, Debian, Pop!_OS and OpenSuse. At one point or another the Nvidia drivers were a pain on all of them except Pop!, they circumvented most problems most likely due to their approach of maintaining an (almost) dedicated Nvidia build of their distro. Something they can specifically afford given they sell devices with those cards and got people working on this stuff 24/7.
Funnily enough Flatpak works for me like a charm. 😅
Oh, flatpak works great for me, it’s just that it’s too sandboxed and I inevitably need something to talk to something else and rather than learn to use flatseal I just gave up and installed the AUR versions of everything
