You're gonna get a million different answers to this question. lol But yes, PopOS is a great option, for sure! I started my Linux gaming journey on PopOS and I loved it!
Another cool one is Nobara, a gaming-centric Linux distro based on Fedora. My one caution would be that it usually takes a month after Fedora updates (which is already slower than some other distros because of their release model), for Nobara to get those updates. Otherwise, it not only installs the necessary GPU drivers during install (like PopOS), but it has a bunch of gaming-related software pre-installed and pre-configured. You can basically just start downloading and playing games without any hassle.
With that said, PopOS is going to get much faster and more regular updates. It's stable, easy to use, and makes driver setup easy.
