Garuda dragonized gaming will get you everything out of the box and you can change the theme after. It will walk you through a lot with assistants, which is nice to learn things on an arch based distro. Its an easy switch from windows, plus, now I can use fish konsole htop and paru alright.
My husband built me a gaming computer and wanted to install the OS. Told him he probably wouldn't be able to as I had picked out an arch based distro. I'd never installed arch myself. He'd never installed any linux. He had no problem putting dragonized garuda on there. It's been nearly 3 years now and I still haven't changed the theme tho.
Edited to add: I ain't got any nvidia anything in that PC, so can't speak to that.
Ah I have two nvidia GPU laptops running it right now and its great!! A 2070S and one even older tho. Nothing considered modern by todays standard.
Second time tonight I have heard of this distro - I may have to check it out.
