I'm on endeavouros (arch) with an rtx 3060 and haven't had any issues whatsoever in a few years, are people having more nvidia problems lately or something?
It's a mixed bag, most of the time the desktop cards work fine, but mobile gpus are a little more wonky. Had a desktop rtx 2070 super under endeavoros as well until the last 6 months (even on the sway community edition, which is wayland based), but I have to admit the rx 9070xt that replaced it was much easier to setup and get going with no fuss thus far (plus really easy to undervolt, so I don't use a ton of power as well).
I believe I have the same GPU but the Ti version (I might be mistaken but it's definitely 30xx ti) and I couldn't get it to work on mint smoothly myself. Put my 7600 back in. Idk if it's the distro or not. Followed instructions online and nothing worked. Maybe I was simply missing something simple but whatever the fix is isn't intuitive for me.
Just to note: that I've only been using Linux for about a year now and have been learning as I go. I'm not a CS student or anything. Just a dude without a diploma working a blue collar job.
Don't know about 'recently', but I bought a new PC about 2 years ago with a 4070 super, spent about one and a half days trying to get Ubuntu to properly set up drivers, and ended up installing windows instead.
(Due to ongoing enshittification I am considering giving it another go with mint)
I would recommend endevour OS which is based on arch, so you have the latest drivers and kernel always. Ubuntu is always old and may not work properly. Try that one and things will likely just work out of the box.

If you want a just works solution for gaming, try bazzite. I Never had a single hitch
Bazzite or Pop OS. Ubuntu and Mint are not railored for gaming much. You can still play games of coruse, but you will have more better experience on gaming-specific OSes.
I can recommend bazzite if you don't want to tinker much. Install took like half an hour and my 4090 worked out of the box with all games that I tried so far. (Mostly WoW, bg3 and rematch)
Even for tinkering, check out bistrobox that comes installed with it. Stupid simple to just run a Debian (or whatever) container for packages that expect a mutable os
