Nvidia support's pretty good honestly from my experience. I have a 2000s series in my computer rn and I haven't run into any issues honestly
Seriously? Hmmmmm well I guess we'll try linux for the umpteenth time again. I'm seeing some new program names and processes here since last time I tried, so who knows? It may actually be up to the task for my day to day. That'd be nice, I'm not a fan of cloud based Operating systems. I bought my hardware, I like to own it, not give it to whatever software corp is installed on it.
Yeah it was honestly weird for me too bc I had always heard that you need to go team red if you want to use Linux but i don't know if it's that everyone else is lying or I'm amazing but I'll just assume I'm goated with the sauce
The Nvidia driver has very good performance, and for most usecases it's.... Fine. But it does bring extra hoops and issues. There's a reason many distros have started to ship the "normal ISO" and the "nVidia ISO".
The nVidia driver also uses kernel modules, which can interfere with secure boot.
And many modern features are developed for Wayland-only: Mixed refresh rate, mixed fractional scaling, HDR etc. And nVidia is behind on Wayland support, since they only recently decided to cave on and use the same pipeline as AMD/Intel instead of their own.
