I second this. For a while my Nvidia card worked great on pop os for gaming. Then one day a kernel upgrade hosed it all. I tried for days to get it working again and finally realized I was swimming upstream and always would be. Bought an amd card and now I hardly have any issues.
Nvidia usually worked for me fine outside of gaming but I did literally find some distros that had severe issues even in the installer sometimes. Nvidia intentionally fucks over Linux support so I decided it was best not to support them anymore anyhow.
Sidenote, my games all look great and run better than they did on the Nvidia card. I always thought amd graphics cards were second rate, but I don’t think that’s at all true these days.
