As a Linux user I was trained to never report any bugs if you use the proprietary Nvidia drivers, because the report will just be dismissed (no matter if the stack trace indicates the crash being Nvidia's fault). Though I guess for a game this would finally be different! In fact I submitted a fix for a crash in a game (you can compile it yourself, but not open source license) that affected all OSes before.

I've never tried it personally, but Nvidia has support forums for users experiencing bugs. They have a support script to collect additional information for reporting problems

  The bugs I'm referring to never where Nvidia bugs. Bugs in some kind of GUI programs, but because I used Nvidia drivers they just dismissed the bug. It's a long time ago and I got that response from multiple projects, so I stopped reporting bugs of any GUI programs.

    Nvidia kind of expects everyone to adapt to them rather than play nice with the community so I won't blame anyone for not volunteering their free time to deal with them.

I submitted a bug + instructions to fix for an Nivida project and it got fixed in the next release

  They where never Nvidia bugs. Just that if you use Nvidia drivers many GUI projects will ignore your bug report. It was a long time ago so I don't remember the details. Happened with multiple projects (not the same bug, the same response by the devs when they found out I use Nvidia drivers).
