Is Pop!_OS better than Ubuntu for gaming? Given that the officially supported distro for Steam is whatever the latest LTS version of Ubuntu is I would assume that would be the way to go.

(FWIW I'm using Arch and have found Steam support to be pretty seamless, apart from needing to install PulseAudio as bare ALSA had issues.)

I've never used Pop!_OS but I've heard that it takes the "Just Works" polish of Ubuntu in general and extends that to proprietary video card drivers.

For an absolute beginner, it's probably better for gaming. For people who already know what they're doing, it's probably not a noticeably better gaming experience.
