I will remind you : Nvidia is not easy on Linux. And so far as my research it never has.

So far for me, NVidia has been easier on Pop OS than on Windows. The proprietary NVidia driver comes pre-installed on Pop OS downloads (the ones intended for NVidia).

If we compare from bare metal:

Windows: download the OS, prepare the media, install the OS, look for the correct driver, download it, install it, make sure to avoid the unnecessary junk that comes with the driver.

Pop OS: download the OS, prepare the media, install the OS.

Edit: It's early days still though. Only installed it this week.
