Linux gaming on an Nvidia graphics card (lemmy.ml)

So I've been a little wary of installing Linux on my desktop since I have a 1660 ti as a graphics card and read that there are some problems with drivers and such. Are my fears unfounded/outdated? Anyone experienced any problems and what Linux distro should I look to use for gaming?

To my understanding, nvidia gpus mainly have issues with specific things like wayland, it otherwise works fine for the most part.

I still plan to switch to amd eventually, but its working fine. Linux mint has been a plug and play experience for me and is what I and many others would recommend if you are looking for the easiest transition from Windows.

I wouldnt think about it too hard tho cuz you can just install another distro relatively quickly if you dont like it.
