Most of this article seems unnecessary in 2025 and is very specific to Arch.

For most distributions you can simply install the (proprietary) nvidia drivers and you're good to go.

There is generally no tweaking or command line changes necessary for Nvidia to work on Wayland, including multi-monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates.

I had Nvidia up until a year ago or so. Every single time I had to do any kind of maintenance it was because of their drivers.

Since I don't play any more games than Minecraft and don't really need a fancy gpu I have switched to intel. Now I have two things which I buy intel only. GPUs and WiFi. I have had one glitch with opengl under a VM, but I am not sure that is intel only since it also had issues with my Nvidia card.

Half a dozen of NVidia cards in more than a decade on on Win/Lin. No major problems so far.. I had to install / remove drivers manually but only because I needed exact versions for some other software. Intel on Win/Lin works fine too.
