From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You heard wrong. Nvidia doesn't play nice with Linux.
Of course it works just fine, but it can be somewhat problematic for beginners. You'd still be better off going with AMD just to avoid issues if you're only concerned about "plug and play".
To add to this, I think in general AMD offers a bit better bang-for-buck at the moment, at least in the low and mid-tiers.
