I’ve never used Ubuntu and I don’t have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you’d probably want to avoid them if it’s convenient to do so, all else being equal.
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I’ve got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.

Good shout, thank you.
I might have to give that one a try.
My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.
I can confirm that PopOS works well on devices with both an iGPU and an nvidia dGPU.
