So I’ve been a little wary of installing Linux on my desktop since I have a 1660 ti as a graphics card and read that there are some problems with drivers and such. Are my fears unfounded/outdated? Anyone experienced any problems and what Linux distro should I look to use for gaming?

    You’ll want to use the proprietary Nvidia drivers if you want any sort of performance. It can be a pain to get started sometimes, but when you get them working, they work and performance is good.

    Personally I’m annoyed because any time I change my kernel version, I have to reinstall the Nvidia drivers. It’s quite possible that this is not an issue if you don’t use an extremely weirdly configured install of Gentoo like I currently do.
