I am switching to Linux for the first time.

I heard Mint is really good but am not sure exactly which distro is best to use with Steam, as well as with newer games, as I primarily use my computer for gaming.

I generally play games like Final Fantasy XIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls Online, and Total War: Warhammer 3.

Nvidia drivers are largely reliable these days. I've daily driven AMD/Nvidia hybrid setups since ~2020 and have only occasionally had Nvidia driver issues. I've actually had more breakage in amdgpu due to insufficient testing and code churn - I think I've reported close to two dozen regressions over the last 4y.
