I use Linux at home but as an IT technician have experience with Nvidia in the Windows world. And it was pretty terrible there too.

You have to create an Nvidia account just to get the latest driver (🤦‍♀️) and despite its supposed prowess Photoshop struggled. Solidworks (CAD Software) also had issues with Nvidia and would only work with specific driver versions.

Overall a real pain.

I would only recommend AMD especially on Linux as they say least provide open source drivers. Plus their CPU's are actually very good. I've seen some ancient pcs running Windows 10 on AMD CPU's.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
