From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's also pop!_OS which can come preinstalled with Nvidia drivers
Pop is a fork of Ubuntu, which is a fork of Debian.
I misread your comment, I'm super tired. But afaik pop has been the only distro to have an ISO with Nvidia drivers built in for years now, I think
Fyi Manjaro also has the option to install with proprietary drivers.
The option to install, or an ISO that comes pre-installed with the drivers?
Pre-installed, you can choose between proprietary or open source on booting the installation ISO, and depending on what you picked it will install.
