Any of them.
Usually, we tend to pick a rolling or semi-rolling releases like Fedora to have newest drivers.

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.

I've been using arch with gnome for ages, it doesn't have anything non standard.. Lutris and steam 'just work'..
OP may want to look at Garuda's gaming edition. It seems to have a lot of good gaming packages I usually end up installing myself and it's based in Arch Linux
flatpak update is all you need to do for terminal.
I agree, I've always used sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade and flatpak update on Pop OS and never used the pop shop.
I'm running Arch with dual Nvidia cards. It's nice to have a distro that actually updates it's Nvidia driver on a regular basis without having to manually do it and breaking things. Any rolling release should work just fine.
Mint works well for me
Literally any of them.
All you do is install your drivers if using Nvidia, then just install your games, whether native packages, flatpak, Steam, Lutris, or whatever.
I just run Debian 12 and everything through Lutris or native. Used to run Steam through Flatpak which also worked perfectly, but don't play any games on Steam anymore.
Right now most likely Steam OS (which is an Arch derivate). But it's quite specific to the SteamDeck.
SteamOS is a Debian derivative, and has existed long before the steam Deck was a thing.
Nvm looks like they switched to Arch for v3.
Technically correct, but the new version is so much better. It leaves the old one in the dust. I wish they'd make an official release for PC, though. I'd like to try it out.
Nobara or maybe just debian ?
literally any distro will work but maybe nobara is what you are looking for

I've heard good things of Chimera OS. Haven't used it myself yet, though.
Windows
/s (Though, technically, with WSL2, Windows is now a Linux distro)
