Currently I’m using Linux Mint but I’m having issues with my Nvidia graphics card.

Please don’t suggest Arch Linux. I’m looking for a stable, polished and easy-to-use distro. I have my eyes set on Pop!_OS for a while.

    Arch linux ;) . Or if you need a more beginner-friendly install, manjaro or endeavor. The AUR makes installing the most up to date versions really easy… I remember on ubuntu, the repos had 3+ year old versions of a lot of things like postgres, which then people had to make custom ppas just to get the newest versions. That’s not a problem on arch-based distros.

    Its a misconception that arch isn’t polished, or crashes a lot. I’ve had updates break things far more often when I used Ubuntu, than on arch. And I’ve been on the same rolling distro for ~ 3 years now.

        I have an nvidia GPU, but its one of those hybrid ones for notebooks, so it took some more configuring on arch. But at least their docs do give good instructions on how to get it working.

      I think Arch breaking probably depends on what you do. My virtual machines are guaranteed to be broken if I haven’t booted them for over 6 months. Sometimes you also actually have to put stuff in to pacman’s ignore list when updates cause more headache than they’re worth.
