    Its not a big problem like it is made out to be. There are some distros that don’t ship nVidia drivers (and so you have to find the repo in your distro that does come contain it. I.e. Debian has an repo for it that isn’t readily advertised) so some people have had a hard time. Some distros are just a checkbox this add nVidia. Some like SUSE/OpenSUSE have a repo that nVidia specifically hosts and maintains. So results vary, but I can say I have not had issues with nVidia

      Ty for clarifying. The one I’m interested in RN is Mint. From what I’ve heard and the information you’ve provided I suspect it won’t be an issue.

        You can always test a distro by putting it on a USB and booting into the live environment. This means you can check if everything works hardware wise without having to commit to installing Linux.
