Try Nobara as a live system or on a small boot disc you have lying around (ssds go for cheap these days) not that I would recommend it anymore as a distribution (nowadays Fedora is a better choice), but it helps you figure out if your setup will cause issues. (If it works on Nobara it likely will work on fedora)
Personally from a gaming perspective I would advise against Mint.

A lot of it depends on your distro. I use exclusively Mint and Debian (primarily Debian), and everything works fine on both of those. My laptop runs Debian 13 and has the iGPU and an RTX4070, and one of my servers has both an RTX A6000 and a T400, both being passed through Proxmox into two different Debian 13 VMs. Everything works without issue. Before Debian 13 on the laptop I had Mint 22, and before that Ubuntu 23.10, and both worked without issue as well.
