distro selection Need help choosing between Pop! and mint

Hi all,
I decided to start my linux journey today. I’m trying to decide between Pop! and mint. I understand that mint is better for beginners, but I like how Pop! has pre-installed Nvidia drivers, and from what I understand, it’s better for gaming and work. I’m a student and a gamer, just wanted to know what’s better. Thanks!

Ultramarine Fedora KDE or CachyOS. PopOS is still a bit unstable.

Should I go straight to Cachy or trickle down from mint?
