Used Nvidia for years, got tired of it. I used to keep a list of all the problems but I got tired of posting it.
Off the top of my head, gaming at all on Nvidia used to break KDE on X if you disabled the compositor for performance, the whole UI would visually freeze. FFXIV and WoW would crash constantly until DXVK put in special handling for the Nvidia driver. Wayland still has issues which means users with mixed refresh rates or VRR have to choose what features to sacrifice. Optimus laptop graphics switching support is a goddamn joke on Linux, only supported on a couple generations and it barely works there. Video hardware acceleration never worked on Firefox, no idea if it does now.
I installed an AMD GPU about a year ago and I've literally not thought about it once since. It just works, it doesn't cause problems, I don't have to do anything with drivers. I'm never gonna go back unless they get a fully functional open source driver stack.
