Lies. You wouldn't buy a PC with Nvidia nonsense just to install Linux.

Nvidia used to be the easy way to go. The open-source Nouveau driver lacked functionality. The official Nvidia driver was proprietary but worked well. (Though the Radeon drivers were proprietary at the time too. And Intel graphics hardware was always poor.)

Wild how things turn around.

Serious question because I'm in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense.. so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS

You'll want the nvidia drivers. Nouveau is now usable with AMD cards I think, I'm on nvidia so I'm not 100% sure on that
