I've been using Ubuntu as my daily driver for a good few years now. Unfortunately I don't like the direction they seem to be heading.

I've also just ordered a new computer, so it seems like the best time to change over. While I'm sure it will start a heated debate, what variant would people recommend?

I'm not after a bleeding edge, do it all yourself OS it will be my daily driver, so don't want to have to get elbow deep in configs every 5 minutes. My default would be to go back to Debian. However, I know the steam deck is arch based. With steam developing proton so hard, is it worth the additional learning curve to change to arch, or something else?

Weird, it's definitely not fixed yet (just tried it on up to date Arch). I don't think Nobara included a fix for it, what Desktop environment and GPU are you using?

Edit: Also happens on nvidia-open drivers and with RTX 40xx cards, which is mentioned here

So if it really doesn't happen on your system in XWayland apps these people would probably be very interested in your setup

it is just nvidia card with propertiary nvidia drivers (535) and kde

Are you on a laptop using Prime Render offload? That fixes it, otherwise you probably just didn't notice. I'd recommend you compare it to gaming on X11
