I'm trying to find a good Linux distribution that works well with my hardware setup, which includes an i7-4790 CPU, 24GB of DDR3 RAM, a Radeon RX570 8GB GPU, and an Asus H97 Pro Gamer motherboard. I've already gone through a few options: I tried Ubuntu but ran into GPU issues, Fedora with KDE wasn't great because I couldn't install some apps I needed, and EndeavorOS was just terrible. It's been frustrating, especially since I already have a multi-OS setup. Can anyone suggest a distro that might work better?

I'm using Linux Mint on a similar hardware setup (i7 4790k, Radeon RX 6600 XT) and I haven't encountered any issues. Might be a solid option for you to try!
To help you better, could you share some specific details about the GPU issues with Ubuntu? And what app did you struggle to install on Fedora? Knowing these might really help narrow down some good distro options for you!
It might be worth mentioning that component compatibility tends to play a bigger role in these issues than the distro itself. What exact problems did you face? And specifically, what couldn't you install on Fedora?
Please specify which app you were trying to install. Was it a .deb file or something else? Knowing that could help find a workaround!
Have you considered trying CachyOS? I've heard good things about it, especially for setups similar to yours.
