The BSD with the most support for Nvidia is the one you never tried. Arguably it's the only BSD that is best suited for a desktop user. Also has better wifi support as well. We all want to love BSD, and it does get love in proprietary spaces like Netflix, Playstation and Apple, but those companies have the resources to actually create the pieces they need and do not have an obligation to share it. (E.g. MacOS is literally a certified UNIX, but the GUI layers are private.) For non-corporate users, in some ways it is like what Debian faced when they realized they really did need to start including wifi firmware into the install media, because people were like, why doesn't this connect to the router? What's wrong with this? This is actually something that I've run into personally. At the end of the day though, BSD isn't realistic as a desktop. OpenBSD disables stuff for security reasons which harms performance, so it wouldn't be first choice as a desktop. NetBSD is what Open forked off of many years ago and I recall NetBSD as one of those "let's try to make it install on anything" show and tell pieces, but not something you'd really be using for anything. FreeBSD was the only one that was reasonably usable. Dragonfly is another fork (this time off FreeBSD). All of them have to port the Linux video drivers, Linux desktops, etc. It's actually somewhat unusual that Linux is the one that won the battle for resources, because corporations hate sharing and being open.
