If I want to run games in Steam on NVidia GPU, with KDE and Wayland, what distribution would you recommend?

Check out one of the Fedora spins if you want to go Wayland.

I have Fedora KDE Plasma 40 on a laptop with a nVidia chipset, (I need to have it defaulted to Nouveau and the base Intel chipset). Maybe by the middle of next month they MIGHT have something cobbled together to get a decently working experience for the majority of users. Otherwise, don't be surprised if your screen flickers, has missing parts of your display, or just a black and blank screen.

Wayland and nVidia - two piles of stupid that are meant for each other.

I just use Debian, KDE is an option during install and I use it. However, my brain lacks wrinkles so I'm sure it could be "better" on a more purpose built gaming distro. Over the decades of on and off Linux use, I always end up on Debian because it feels like solid ground to me

Technically not a distro, but give Bazzite a try. It's probably the most hands-off gaming experience on Linux. Valve employees also make contributions to it.

Garuda. Gaming/perf focus, with lots of built-in niceties (like btrfs snapshots on upgrade, proton GE, etc)

At this point with Wayland, none of them..........
