I’m looking to switch over to Linux but I need a distro that I can easily set up Docked Desktop and get Nvidia drivers and CUDA installed. I tried Mint so far but it will not for the life of me install the Nvidia drivers!

Ubuntu. It has great Nvidia driver support. Everything works practically out of the box.
I switched over to Ubuntu and Docker Engine instead of Desktop (other person was moved to another project more suited to them). Got it all working in less than 10 minutes. Thanks for the help!
You’re welcome! :)
Doesn’t mint use the same driver package as Ubuntu?
Yes.
So what would be the benefit of trying Ubuntu if mint didn’t work? As far as installing packages is concerned, they’re practically the same
Mint, or any other flavor of Ubuntu, don’t come with the third party driver installer GUI application. You have to read documentation and go through command line to install the correct driver.
I’ll give it a shot.
