Lately I’ve been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I’ve tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don’t know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.

Yeah, install the distro, done. No more thinking about anything. The distro does it all for you.
Kinda not what you’re asking about but pop OS does provide an nvidia version of the ISO, so you wouldn’t need to configure anything in the first place if you chose the correct ISO. Same with nobara, and probably other gaming focused distros.
GUI doesn’t matter. AMD will always be simpler right now. Nvidia still has all kinds of issues. I think what you want to know is which distro has the fewest issues with Nvidia drivers? Just a guess.
GUI absolutely does matter for helping adoption of linux, I’m not interested in hearing arguments to the contrary either. Everything should be as GUI’d as possible if we want linux to grow
It does not.
The GUI just relegates all commands to the CLI tools under the hood.
