I did the same, I had jumped into POP OS instead, which is also Ubuntu based, then a year back I got into EndeavourOS an Arch based distro, and have not looked back since. I use it on everything I can put Linux on.

Plus one for an Arch-based system, way better than Ubuntu/Debian for gaming. All these Nvidia driver issues totally disappeared when I switched.

Rolling release is a hell of a lot better in this context. SteamOS is Arch, IIRC.

For me it wasnt driver issues, moreso “you need glibc to be a version that Debian / Ubuntu cant upgrade without it being potentially problematic” just to run 3D printer slicer software. I said screw this give me bleeding edge and give it to me now. I had been itching to try something slightly more bleeding edge, Fedora was on my mind but it did not work out as I wanted it to.
