Pop-OS comes with Nvidia drivers pre-installed if you have their cards which is good because I fucking despise manually installing them. But I also hate how their app store functions. They’re working on revamping this, and it’s looking good, so I recommend this once they release a stable update of their new interface. This is what I use and it’s been fine outside of the app store.

Linux Mint is the most user friendly imo if we are talking casual Windows user who only browsed the web and plays games. Pop might require some CLI usage, but I don’t think you ever need to touch it with Linux Mint.
