Practically speaking, we are at a turning point regarding Nvidia on Linux. Things were bad before but they have improved significantly. Newer drivers from Nvidia are partially open-source and they seem good so far.

As long as your GPU isn't too old, it should be fine. Bur you should verify before commiting.

    Thanks ! Had a check (I have a 4070ti desktop card and 3070ti mobile card) looks like I'm good and all supported. Going to finally make the switch tomorrow, wish me luck :)

    I'm running a 2080 ti and while it's def aging and showing it now, it's been great so far.

    The 2080ti is great card!

    I’ll be honest, I stay up to date on gens because I can through work. Reality is, games seem to have plateaud a good few years ago and we’re upgrading due to shonky development / crap and lazy optimisation most of the time.

    I play primarily metroidvania’s and older games 95% of the time and if it wasn’t for work I would probably still be rocking my 1080ti :)

    Anyhow, rant over and thanks for the feedback !
