Jo, no problem! Just use the proprietary drivers and vulcan, cuda etc. Just works
Especially with a recent card, like a 4060. Problematic are only the cards which are considered legacy by nvidia (I think older than the GTX 900 series), because they do not update their drivers for newer kernels. In these cases resorting to nouveau (in-kernel driver for nvidia cards) is your best bet, but you will not use the card’s full potential.
Edit: One can of course use proprietary drivers with legacy cards if you use a distro in a legacy kernel. But having old kernel then comes with less compatibility to other devices, as backports generally take their time.
I feel ya. I built pure AMD explicitly for linux gaming early last year… and then proceeded to not install linux for like 6 months 😅 had a 2080 ti for years before that
I did the same (different card but similar situation) and I was able to sell my Nvidia card for similar to what I paid for it. Not sure if that would be the case these days though.
i wish i could go to an amd card but i just upgraded my video card (geforce rtx 4060 ti) like 3 months before i decided to move to linux :(

Wait, does Nvidia actually update their drivers according to the latest Linux kernels?
😁yess
