No, "nvidia is a biaaatch" led me. I just stated that my experience is different. How about you share your actual experience?
I might be biased as I used GPUs for scientific computations and Nvidia reached level where it "just" works on Linux many years ago.
Also:
* Steam and few games I have on my laptop (ubuntu) with nvidia mobile graphics work fine.
* My home workstation (gentoo) and workstation at work (ubuntu) also work fine.

Haven't had any issues in at least a year though, but i'd expect the same kind of issues on any new chipset by nvidia, as they havent open sourced their drivers
