I don't run any hardware with an NVidia GPU on Linux any longer, so I don't have recent first hand experience but I do follow Linux news and every year or so it's announced that Nvidia is working on the last feature that's holding back perfection on Linux. NVidia drivers don't support implicit sync but now that the Linux graphics layer supports explicit sync, the NVidia drivers make the "Final Steps Towards Ultimate Desktop Experience". Same BS every year. Nvidia is always lagging behind on Linux.

I'll consider using NVidia with Linux, should NVidia ever enter upstream kernel and Mesa development the same way AMD and Intel do.

I am intimately familiar with Nvidia’s drivers and my random Linux black screens…

Same here. At one point I was very versed in reinstalling the entire Linux graphics stack because the NVidia driver's kernel module decided that it is no longer compatible with the lastest kernel update.
