nvidia drivers in linux can be a monumental mess
That certainly was the case for a long time. I've haven't had any issues for 5+ years. Devs made it a priority.
Just don't use a monitor that's DRM'd for Windows only. I made that mistake with an FI27Q-SA (AORUS monitor) once, and that was a $600 US waste.
How does that even work, is there just no video output when you boot in to Linux?
