I've been using Nobara for my Linux setup, but I'm constantly running into problems that seem to be caused by Nvidia. I'm wondering if there's a Linux distro that's known for being more stable when it comes to working with Nvidia graphics cards. Any recommendations?

From what I've seen, the whole Nvidia issue on Linux is kind of exaggerated. I used to have a GTX 970, and it ran perfectly on Linux Mint. Most of my games even performed better than on Windows!
For some people, using Pop!_OS with a GTX 970 has had issues like the card not waking from suspend. It's also worth noting that certain versions might boot into a black screen, so you'll want to keep an eye on version updates.
I have a Mint Cinnamon setup, and it works like a charm on both my ASUS 3060 and my Legion 4080 laptops. Super smooth experience!
Mint didn't even boot on my Ideapad gaming laptop, though! It really depends on your hardware.
