I started using Nvidia cards with Linux about two years ago and haven't had a single issue so far. It has always been Ubuntu, so that might be part of it, but I get the impression that Nvidia's beef with Linux isn't an issue anymore.
- II2II 5y agoI have one machine using AMD and another using Nvidia. The only quirk with the Nvidia drivers, from my perspective, is having to install them separately under most distributions while AMD graphics just work. Even then, there is a lot less hassle to using Nvidia drivers under Linux than either vendor's drivers under Windows. (I recognize that there have been issues with Wayland support in the past, it creates issues for some developers, and support for modern Nvidia cards on most other operating systems is non-existent. There are likely other issues, but it seems like most of the issues would affect a small number of people.)
