Seriously considering moving to Linux, but Nvidia gpu

Post Body

Hi,

I'd like to start by saying I'm not really a Linux noob, I have worked a lot with Linux but never gaming.

At work I have dumped my windows machine (had to request admin rights every time I wanted to install something, ugh) in favour of a Linux one. It came with Ubuntu 20.04 which isn't too great, but I prefer it so much over windows.

Now I'd like to do the same for my gaming pc, but I have some serious concerns for the Nvidia driver support. My Pc consists of an Intel i9-9900k and an NVidia RTX 3090 Founders edition. Other less relevant specs are 16gb ram, several TBs of disk space divided over SATA and NVMe disks, and I have an Asus WS C246 mobo.

Ideally I'd install a distro like Arch or NixOS.

I heard Xorg can't support two different refresh rates on monitors, and I am running a 165Hz and 60Hz monitor setup, both 1440p so that would mean both would run at 60Hz. Conversely, nvidia has a beyond terrible reputation on working with wayland.

Any experiences or advice you folks could share? The monitor setup is my main concern, followed by nvidia specific issues.
