I tried Bazzite, too, but there were issues there. Admittedly, they've updated their Nvidia support since, so I could give it another go.

But also, I'm not using this PC just as a gaming station, it's a workstation, too. I'm not sure a gaming-focused immutable distro is going to be it.

The irony of it is that Manjaro has been best at this. I can run my workflow on it fine, and it's snappier than Windows at that (and for other stuff, like retro gaming). It's gaming-on-Linux savior Steam that gave up the ghost.

And frankly, I find when something like this happens everybody jumps to distro hopping as a solution. In my experience, if you're trying to do something with sketchy support like this all distros are quirky.
