My experience with a 1060 on Ubuntu is that it was fairly buggy in the early days, and has gotten better.
I don't have too many problems now, but just recently I ran into trouble with any application that used OpenGL not working, and it went away when I rebooted.
In general I'd say they've done an okay job, but still I've seen enough bugs to say they have room for improvement.
I don't know how many of those bugs are Nvidia's fault explicitly; Linux is a bit of a wild west when it comes to software configuration, and they can't test everything or fix every buggy application.
