Linux gaming on an Nvidia graphics card (lemmy.ml)

So I've been a little wary of installing Linux on my desktop since I have a 1660 ti as a graphics card and read that there are some problems with drivers and such. Are my fears unfounded/outdated? Anyone experienced any problems and what Linux distro should I look to use for gaming?

There are issues with both AMD and nvidia. I've tried both. If you have nvidia then may as well just give it a go. I'd suggest something like Nobara, or EndeavourOS to get started. Use nvidia proprietary drivers for a better experience.

I've stuck with KDE Plasma for the desktop environment over the years.
