I'm really tired of the quirky features in Windows 11 and I'm considering switching to Linux for gaming. I've heard that CachyOS is gaining popularity. How well does it support Nvidia devices, particularly with my RTX 4070 Super and i5 13600KF? Do you think my hardware will work smoothly on it?

Honestly, with so many different system setups out there, the best way to know is to just install CachyOS and see how it runs with your gear. Give it a shot!
Keep in mind that you might experience a drop in performance—around 15-45% in most DX12 games—due to the Nvidia drivers. But other than that, you should be in good shape!
I've got an AMD 5950 with an Nvidia 3080 Ti running on Mint Linux, and everything works great for me. I use Xorg for display stuff, and I've had no major problems.
I had a similar Intel and Nvidia setup before, and it required a lot of tweaking to get gaming to run properly. I had issues with graceful shutdowns too, so be ready for some troubleshooting.
Your RTX 4070 Super should work just fine. I have an older setup, and it handles my hardware well, which is quite a bit older than yours. Just be prepared for some learning curves with the switch!
