If Linux had better nvidia support I would swap in a heart beat.
I have been running OpenSUSE with nVidia for 7 years. No issues here.
AMD's RT performance is getting quite close to Nvidia. Each generation gets them closer and closer.
CUDA will always be proprietary but there's a ton of resources being put against alternative solutions.
Using Pop for almost 2 years on nvidia laptop and pc, no problem, whats the issue?
...Ok no problem is a lie, but it wasn't GPU related problems..
I had issues with my specific hardware combo of i9 14900k and 4090 and multi display issues that windows doesn’t seem to have. Though that could just be my ignorance.
Amd cpu and 4070ti super here without issues. I suspect intel being the usual dumpster fire.
Depending on the issue it may be fixed now that Wayland is better supported on Nvidia.
X.org always had issues running multiple displays with different refresh rate for example.
But don't know your exact problem of course. May be something different. I think there will be some big leaps made with nkv (the new open source drivers for Nvidia cards), but it gonna take some time.
You can always try something like pop_os on a live usb. They have the Nvidia drivers installed and use Wayland I think.
I had an issue with 2 4k screens through my dock, but that was apparently my docks fault.
