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 Are my fears unfounded/outdated?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?

The biggest pain you'll face is identifying which driver version you'll need, and whether you should be on Wayland or Xorg.
Once you figure that out, in my experience (GTX 1060 on Fedora), you're golden. Installation itself isn't hard then.
