It's a little more of a setup but you could try endeavour. It's pretty lightweight and performant, they have every kind of DE imaginable to install during the setup.

Linux Mint Debian Edition is very lightweight and easy to use.
I'll try it out thanks
Isn't that a streaming one, though? I tend to go for mint XFCE.
I had a good experiences with nobrara. For non gamers it is a bit bloated, but everything worked out of the box or after just one reboot. https://nobaraproject.org/
For the best Nvidia Optimus experience IMO go with an arch based distro, something like Endeavor OS, and install and configure Optimus Manager. It has a Hybrid Mode which makes it work much like it does on Windows, were you just launch a game and it uses the dedicated GPU. I like it better that way vs having to be switching modes manually.
Here's a guide for it: https://discovery.endeavouros.com/nvidia/optimus-manager-for-nvidia/2021/03/
