If it helps, I've been running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my main 3D/gamedev production rig for a while. Yes, using NVIDIA too!
It's a "rolling release", so it's cutting edge with supported hardware and all the software updates. It's surprisingly stable because of the automated testing they run through.
I've had bad updates before, BUT, if you install your system using the BTRFS file system (default), you get something called Snapper that works similar to "Windows System Restore". You can just roll back to a previous snapshot and either re-update or wait until things are more stable.
Nvidia has proprietary drivers for OpenSUSE as well, and since I've used those, I haven't had very many problems.
The biggest issue I have is that my machine has trouble waking from suspend. It's a tricky one to nail down, from what I understand.
Multiple monitors with different refresh rates is iffy, but I disabled "Kscreen" and have had no problems. (Don't worry about this but wanted to mention it just in case)
KDE is pretty neat and I felt at home coming from Win10. Now I only dual boot into Win10 for occasional games. I'm not touching Win11 at all, so I'll migrate my games over once 10 is no longer viable to hang on to.
Lastly, the community is really helpful and kind. They've helped me out a lot and I've learned a ton. Maybe I'm a nerd but I found "computing" to be a lot more fun on Linux. The biggest hazard being getting distracted cozying up your computer instead of whatever you signed on to do.
Sorry for the long post, but hope you might find it useful. :)
