My son was going to switch to Linux this week. He has a GTX 1060.

Nouveau might be good enough by now for most games that will run on a 1060, maybe worth a try.

Am I the only one that can't manage to make their Nvidia GTX 1060 run correctly on Linux? It has way worse performance than on Windows, even with the proprietary drivers.

I've tried both Kubuntu and Linux Mint.

I guess he can't say he uses arch btw

He wants to use Mint. This is what is called planned obsolescence. I say what Linus Torvalds says.

Might be able to use Mint Debian Edition.

It's not that bad as I understand it. If you are using arch with a Pascal GPU you can switch to the legacy proprietary branch. https://archlinux.org/news/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-support-main-packages-switch-to-open-kernel-modules/
