Can I get Linux running smoothly on my ROG laptop with an Nvidia GPU? Asus and Nvidia purportedly don't behave well with Linux (hexbear.net)

It's the main reason I haven't tried it yet. As for distros, so far I'm most interested in Pop! OS, but given that it's relatively young I worry about lack of documentation for certain issues I could encounter.

And is there a Linux alternative for Armoury Crate? G-Helper is only available on Windows.

I've been using Linux (Mint) with Nvidia cards for over a decade, it's fine. You typically have to go into some menu labeled "enable proprietary drivers" so it'll download the actual Nvidia drivers (because FOSS nerds hate how Nvidia does it (and they're right to)), and disable Windows Secure Boot in your BIOS, and then it just works.
