Long time Fedora user here. I've used Manjaro for a few months before Fedora and I've switched to PopOS! a few months ago because it was better supported from my laptop manufacturer...
I've to admin I was a bit skeptical about switching to a Debian based distro, because I'm someone who likes to follow the latest news in the field and gets exited to try the latest stuff. But then I did and gosh if it's a smoother experience compared to Fedora! (which itself was a notable smoother experience compared to Manjaro). I'm not saying that Fedora experience was bad, I still think is one (if not the) best compromise between usability and freshness, but I'd say that with Pop I've had even less troubles than with windows! The price of that? Being stuck with Gnome 42 after having tried the goodies of newer ones :/
TL;DR: If you think you can live without the latest magic from the linux community, to then I'd reccommend you Pop. Otherwise Manjaro is a good distro and from what I can remember NVIDIA drivers works almost out-of-the-box but be ready for some frequent minor troubleshooting sessions
Pop is going to get updated with some new hotness pretty soon with the cosmic DE
And after that you'll be stuck with an outdated distro again
What point are you trying to make?
What is outdated with popos?
drivers and kernal are pretty recent? Am I missing something?
The software packages are old so you run into bugs that have already been fixed months or even years ago
