POP OS IS SHIT!!! Not really, but it's nice to know you have options, and with linux there are options galore. One optional alternative to PopOS for Linux PC Gaming is Garuda Gaming Edition. An arch based distro designed for gamers in mind. Here is a list of the preinstalled software it comes with...

Launchers:
Steam, Heroic Games Launcher, itch, Lutris, Minigalaxy WINE, Boxtron, Proton GE custom, DXVK, faudio, vkd3d GOverlay, ReplaySorcery, SteamTinkerLaunch, MangoHud, Gamemode and vkBasalt

Tools:
CoreCtrl, DisplayCAL, NoiseTorch, OBS Studio, KeyboardVisualizer, OpenRGB, FancontrolGUI and Piper

Communication:
Discord, Mumble

Emulators:
Retroarch (with all cores)

Virtualization:
Virt-manager (a frontend for QEMU/KVM and libvirt)

Games:
kde-games and others

I'm not a fan of the desktop environment but in terms of getting a linux gaming machine up and running with as minimal effort as possible, I think this distro does a better job that Pop OS. However, your mileage may vary. Let me know if you've had experience with this distro of others by leaving a comment!
