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 Are my fears unfounded/outdated?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?

I am looking for switching to Linux as well and run a 1080 as well. How would you compare the general performance (desktop usage and gaming) of the RX 6650 versus the 1080? I am looking for getting a RX6650 or RX7600 as well, that is why I ask

I haven't played many intensive games on the 6650XT yet, but from what I found online the 6650XT is roughly equivalent to a 1080, slightly faster even.
