My Nvidia driver has worked flawlessly in Fedora for the past 3 years. Not a single issue.

How did you get sleep to work?
I'm also on Fedora with a 5060 and that's my only issue after getting it setup and fixing the initial black screen on boot. Runs games and my own CUDA code well.
I haven't actually tried sleeping the system. It's a desktop, so it isn't something I generally do. I'll give it a try later tonight and let you know what happens.
Warning, you might need to hard reboot because it won't wake up from sleep

I managed to get hibernate working on opensuse with an Nvidia card, so I guess I'm lucky as hell.
No you fucking didnβt.
I had to remember that I'm trans and furry and channel that energy during drive partitioning.
There are limits to a furrys power

Y'all I would happily take all yalls nvidia GPUs.
(Slackware has made using nvidia drivers easy for so long now I'm surprised the other distros haven't fucking figured it out.)

No issues on Mint though
Dunno, every single major problem I had in the last couple of years (including few month on windows) were caused by bad AMD drivers. Had to switch to wayland in large part to avoid that goddamn hw_done/flip_done timeout bug. And still, if anything tries to use VA-API it freezes the entire desktop with amdgpu_cs_ioctl reports "not enough memory for command submission". And it also recently started to not recognize the monitor plugged into it after booting, saying kernel: workqueue: dm_irq_work_func [amdgpu] hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND, so I have to re-plug it a few times for it to start working.
Nvidia, on the other hand? Not a single hitch so far.

YOTLD wonβt ever happen, but getting NVIDIA drivers in order for seamless experience will definitely increase user base. It might only happen when Nova/Nouveau+NVK are mature enough to take over.

I haven't had issues in ages, with Fedora at least. My laptop has NVIDIA and my desktop has AMD. Both are pretty stable.

I'm having no trouble on mine on CachyOS thankfully. Playin my games just fine. I'm sad I didn't kick Microslop sooner, it's been great honestly with all the tinkering and control I have. Not only did I get a performance lift, but my PC actually feels...like it's mine I guess?
I have a 3090 that I will replace with an AMD card the second it makes financial sense for me.

Arch just seems to work. Though I am also not seeing a single distro in this thread listed as having issues.
If you don't have a video card, you don't have (video) driver issues.
Serial terminal gang represent!
Use Bazzite or one of its sister distros.
This is the only reason I use a "gaming* distro. They took the single biggest pain in the ass, and made sure it works out of the box. Yes, there are other challenges (immutable distros have a learning curve) but overall I'm very happy with Bazzite.
