Stable API or not, every time there is a new NVIDIA driver, my Win10 boxes work and my Fedora/Ubuntu ones break. I doubt Microsoft is asking NVIDIA to keep their driver inside Microsoft repositories.

Use a distro that ships the Nvidia driver in its repos or a repository that builds for your distro's kernel specifically.
