Someone mentioned EndeavourOS. Really enjoy it for sure but it’s still Arch at heart for better and worse. You can follow a simple guide to install it with BTRFS and get system snapshots though! :)
On my main 3D art rig I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for years and loving it. Great sane security defaults, up to date packages, but they go through a bit of testing so for a rolling release it’s shockingly stable. I actually quite enjoy Zypper.
If something borks? A rollback option is right there in GRUB.
Steam works just fine and I’d also recommend (on any distro) Heroic Launcher for your non-Steam stuff. Especially since GoG seems to not care much about us penguin people much at all. -_-
If you use KDE, both distros are going through some minor growing pains with Wayland at the moment, but it’s getting much better very quickly. X11 is still an option, of course.
I run Endeavour on my laptop and OpenSUSE on my desktop…and…you might wanna be sitting down for this:
…Both have Nvidia.
It could be better but it’s a million times better than it used to be! Installs straight from repo. Only little issues I really have are Wayland-related.
