Best distro for Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 (dual amd+nvidia graphics)

I'm currently using Ubuntu on this laptop (said in title), which mostly works, but sometimes the whole OS crashes if the operating system tries to use the nvidia GPU. As I understand load distribution is broken. I tried to fix it, but it just broke some packages responsible for virtualization, while now only a few apps crash instead of the whole OS. I will be getting a new SSD for unrelated reasons, and I want to start fresh, with an OS that has this dual graphics problem figured out. I've heard that Bazzite or nobara can handle drivers pretty well, but I want to hear some experiences with this exact or similar hardware, because I already tried so many things others say work, but on my system they don't.

Disabling the nvidia GPU isn't an option, because I want to use this system for game devving and potentially 3D animation or video editing in the future.
