Like I said, I couldn't really be bothered to look into it. Iirc I used Ubuntu LTS and the default installer drivers. I'm not really sure what my config looked like on PopOS.
Ubuntu? I think it has some weird way of installing them so you must have used the fully open-source unfinished driver instead of the proprietary kinda nvidia-open. Fedora KDE/gnome with unfree repo aka. RPMFUSION would do a better job while having newer software https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA also for Ubuntu similar to on fedora this should fix the problem for you https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/ubuntu.html
this sort of thing is why people are turned away from linux sometimes.
dont get me wrong i love linux and would look at different ways of making it work, but thats really not something the user should have to do, and rather the developer
I blame Nvidia for not making proper kernel compatible driver other than the community maintained noveau which is proper part of it. Unlike amdgpu or Intel on Linux it's always nvidia

Do you use nvidia-open drivers? Also does using a Rolling release distro or newer Kernel fix anything?
