I wasted days of my life getting nVidia to work on Linux. Too much stress. Screw that. Better ways to spend time. If I can't game, that's OK too.

I’m told AMD works better with Linux, but I haven’t tried it myself.

AMD is and has been much more friendly towards linux than nivdia. I run mine in proxmox passing through to linux and windows gaming VMs. AMD has invested in open source drivers.
