Random update: I had to swap to Pop!_OS because some games were having issues with the hybrid graphics on my laptop. I couldn't figure out how to get it working in Nobara but Pop supports hybrid Nvidia graphics (because the company that makes Pop sells laptops with hybrid graphics). It took a little longer to get Pop working as well for me as Nobara was, but so far so good.
I really don't like the desktop environment as much but I've got it working well enough and I'm getting used to it. I don't want to mess with it more, trying to install Wayland and whatever, so I'll stick with what just works.
Yup, at the end of the day, do whatever works. I’ve never had to mess with hybrid graphics but I’d imagine some distros handle it better, as you found. PopOS is great and their next update should he real sweet (they’re developing their own Desktop Environment in-house).
