Nvidia RTX on Linux is generally ok, AMD is great

Nvidia cards older than RTX might not be good, their drivers are outdated

    I've been running Linux on a 1070 Ti for at least 5 years now and I have no driver issues.

    Most distros figure that out by themselves.

    If you pick a hands-on distro, expect to be hands on, but if you want stuff to just work, there are distros that make it just work.

    The drivers may not be super fresh, but that would be unreasonable to expect of a GPU released 9 years ago. But it still runs the games I need it to.

    Sadly, with the 595 drivers nvidia dropped support for the 10x0 series of gpus, and some distributions like nobara therefore also dropped support. At least the latest available drivers are in a usable state compared to what they were 2 years back.
