Quite liking it so far, though it's a bit like stepping back 20 years with the fiddling to get some games working. Next step will probably be ditching the Nvidia card for something else.

Bazzite gets drivers quickly since it's a rolling release with updates once a week. I'd assume Pop OS might feel better on Nvidia because it hasn't switched to Wayland, yet.
Nvidia isn't a bad experience on Bazzite or other Universal Blue OSs. But AMD is better.
Wayland on nvidia for me only has annoying glitches. Nothing serious.
Sure if I were getting a new card I'd consider amd. But the issues have only been a minor annoyance.
My issues were minor, too. I just wanted to make things as smooth as possible, and to also sell my 3070 while it still held some value. I ended up being able to transition to a 7800XT for only $200. Now, it really wasn't much of an upgrade, but I'm happy to be off of Windows and Nvidia.
You can run Wayland out of the box but there's ironically non-graphical issues that have stopped me from giving it the time of day.
Never noticed any graphical issues in the time I was using it, but it wasn't long.
