Bleeding edge gaming distros with driver managers? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Seconding this. All the pain ive incurred was due to nvdia, but I just had to get one for the cuda and RT. I wish i had dlss though. Maybe it will get implemented later who knows.
