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.

I hate to be the jerk but it's because you got Nvidia. Intel and AMD cards enjoy significantly better graphics card support.
I would also try a different distribution that's known for having more recent kernels and faster development. Something like Manjaro is actually a pretty good fit for this situation.
4070 Mint Mate 22.1 here and have had no issues with that or my 1050ti cards. Nvidia has had strides in linux compatibility the past 10 years or so.
