CachyOS would be my recommendation; it has options to get a kernel with the closed-source drivers automatically during install, iirc. I bought an AMD card, so I have no direct experience, but I’d expect the least friction with it, even compared to Bazzite or other gaming-focused distributions.
Yeah. Being Arch based it’s flexible, and I’ve heard it’s got a good setup. A friend has a bit of a rough time with the default kernel but you have options.
VR will automatically be a bit janky. The smoothest out of the box VR experience at the moment is WiVRn coupled with an Android VR headset, like a Quest or a Pico. Requires a good router though.
If someone’s looking to get into VR on Linux, I’d wait for Valve’s headset to come out. No idea if it’ll be any good or not, but the Quest is arse. I absolutely hate mine.
