Mint is beginner friendly. The Cinnamon desktop is very Windows-like. But if you want HDR support I don’t recommend Mint because its desktops are mostly on X11. It updates the kernel less frequently, so it’s more stable, less cutting edge.
Pop!_OS is also beginner friendly, gaming oriented, makes installing NVIDIA drivers easy, and since its desktops are on Wayland, you can get HDR support. Its kernel updates more frequently, so newer hardware gets support sooner.

Mint is not a great idea. Its pretty nice for starters, but not for gamers. I had a lot of problems with fps and the mint compositor.

That was kind of my point saying HDR support is hard on Mint. However, I game plenty on Mint and never had any problems aside from that.

Had 0 issues on mint with gaming. I play plenty of modern AAA, AA games.
