From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Though if you have an Nvidia card you should install Pop! OS or Nobara Linux since they have an Nvidia ISO so you won't need to struggle with installing them later on.
Doesn't Mint make installing Nvidia drivers pretty simple?
yes
Thought so.
Not sure really since I don't have an Nvidia card. Pop! OS and Nobara are just general recommendations I found on the internet.
Or OpenSUSE since nvidia hosts a their own repo for OpenSUSE drivers. Add the nvidia repo and install all the nvidia gfx /cuda drivers
