Although Nvidia has made major strides in Linux driver development especially with their drivers being open sourced since 2024, the Nvidia Linux Desktop driver is still lackluster and not as stable as Intel or AMD Radeon drivers on Linux, with the Nvidia Linux drivers do not support latest graphical or system implementations from major Linux distributions. The following are the current persistent issues of Nvidia drivers on Linux:

Poor VKD3D & RT performance, due to a combination of drivers and optimizations needed for NVIDIA cards, with high performance penalty compared to Windows in DX12.

The following features are still work in progress and may be broken: Hardware Video Decoding / Encoding support, Adaptive Sync/G-Sync, NVIDIA Optimus (If you are running a laptop, please set your laptop to use the dGPU using the mux switch), Power Suspend, Explicit Sync on Wayland

The "NVIDIA Control Panel" on Linux lacks a lot of features. The NVIDIA app is unavailable on Linux.

If you do intend to use Nvidia drivers for Linux, please do the following:

Ensure that you are downloading the drivers from your OS repository (APT/YUM) rather than from the Nvidia website unless your OS does not have a pre-made Nvidia driver package.
Please read the changelogs and documentation for each OS/Distro on Nvidia driver installations and workarounds.

If you are planning to use Linux, do not use Nvidia especially laptops

#

Linux Nvidia drivers are as bad as Radeon drivers on Windows

#

Not to mention a 20% performance loss

#

You need drivers for GPU to work

#

Unfortunately Nvidia drivers for Linux are dog shit

#

and even in driver notes, Optimus does not work on 50 series

#

You can always use Windows, or get yourself another laptop with Radeon or Intel
