Since you have experience on Linux, why not Arch Linux. It’s not that hard-to-master-install from the past since “archinstall” exists.

And you get a system with all your wishes of combinations that exist in the linux world. And the best well documented Wiki from Arch stays at your side.

Alternative would be fedora, easiest installer of all. And their logic of “just all firmwares, can’t fail” should help nvidia users out-of-the-box.
