Linux distributions, such as Mint, support NVIDIA just fine.

I'm just going out on a limb running the bleeding edge development
kernel, which the NVIDIA drivers haven't caught up to yet.  The
latest _release_ kernel, 6.14, runs fine with the current NVIDIA drivers.

Not to mention that Linux Mint is not even running the latest
kernel release -- it is at 6.8.0-57 currently (for the lowlatency
kernel).  One uses the driver manager to select NVIDIA's drivers
for use with Linux.  (By default, it uses nouveau, which at this
point shouldn't be a problem except for high-performance applications
such as gaming in a space simulator.)
