Currently Iā€™m using Linux Mint but Iā€™m having issues with my Nvidia graphics card.

Please donā€™t suggest Arch Linux. Iā€™m looking for a stable, polished and easy-to-use distro. I have my eyes set on Pop!_OS for a while.

Really doesnā€™t matter to be honest. Whichever distro you choose, youā€™ll be able to program somehow. Pop_Os! is a good bet for graphics cards issues though, so Iā€™d say roll with it.

A distro running a decent package manager like Nix (NixOS), pacman (Manjaro or Arch), or dnf (Fedora).

While it all depends on what languages youā€™re writing, if youā€™re relying on packages in the distros repos, youā€™re going to appreciate having a robust package manager to handle the crazy dependencies various languageā€™s toolchains will require, especially if you need different versions of packages for whatever reason.
