All drivers have to deal with fbdev and EFI DRM shenanigans and there's no simple solution (if you insist on hiding boot messages behind pretty graphics, or having a graphical console, which most distros do unfortunately, God forbid you should kernel and system messages for 3 seconds).

Until the ancient fbdev stuff will finally be completely obsolete it's all about compromise. Most often the distro will have a working default, in some corner cases it will backfire. Personally I set my console to text only so I don't have to deal with any of this.

TLDR it can happen, and not necessarily on Nvidia.
