Another ding against Nvidia for Linux desktop use is that only some distributions either make it easy to install and keep the proprietary drivers updated (e.g. Ubuntu) and/or ship variants with the proprietary drivers preinstalled (Mint, Pop!_OS, etc).

This isn’t a barrier for Linux veterans but it adds significant resistance for part-time users, even those that are technically inclined, compared to the “it just works” experience one gets with an Intel/AMD GPU under just about every Linux distro.
