What Linux Distro Should I Choose for My PhD Work with an NVIDIA GPU?

I just got a new Lenovo ThinkPad for my PhD work. It comes with Windows, but I plan to dual boot with Linux since I've been using it for a while and it's much better for my workflow in theoretical and computational chemistry. The laptop has an Intel processor and an NVIDIA RTX Pro 1000 Blackwell with 8 GB of dedicated GPU memory.

Currently, I've been using a basic Lenovo laptop with an AMD 5000 series and integrated GPU, and I've never used Linux with a dedicated GPU before. I'm wondering how well it works with NVIDIA on Linux and if there are any risks involved. My work involves writing and benchmarking code, data processing, and some visualization tasks, while more intensive calculations are done on a university HPC cluster. I'd like to eventually write code that utilizes the GPU to test it out on my laptop first.

I've got some experience with Linux; I've been using EndeavorOS for three years and tried Manjaro and Ubuntu before. I've generally had a good experience with EndeavorOS, aside from a few grub bootloader issues.

Since this laptop will primarily be for work, I'm debating whether to continue with EndeavorOS or switch to a different distro. I need something stable to avoid potential issues right before deadlines, but I also want the software availability I'm used to with EndeavorOS.

Here are some distros I'm considering:
- Debian Stable (but I've heard packages can be outdated)
- Ubuntu 24 LTS
- Fedora Workstation
- Fedora Atomic or Universal Blue (based on Fedora Atomic)
- Staying with EndeavorOS or installing pure Arch

I've mainly been a GNOME user on Endeavor but plan to switch to KDE since I'll be using this laptop like a PC, with it connected to external peripherals. Any advice or opinions on the best distro for my situation would be appreciated!
