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 Are my fears unfounded/outdated?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?

I have used Linux (first Mint, later TuxedoOS) for over 7 years with Nvidia cards and it has for the most part worked well. The one exception was a driver update that introduced a bug that stopped me from playing a few games, but i reverted that update with Timeshift and waited a bit for an update without that bug, so it wasn't really a big deal to me.
