could you explain what you mean by this thanks :)

Nvidia has been notoriously bad for Linux on the desktop. Linus Tolvalds has commented about their lack of support here and it has gotten better since then but not by much. Nvidia doesn't like to play nice they only do things their way

Nah. Nvidia is still Nvidia, but 2 years ago or so they finally gave up and started supporting GBM and even opened part of their driver stack.

Some things, like hardware encoder are even easier to set up than AMD's counterpart. (Mainly because Nvidia proprietary driver being supported better than AMD's proprietary driver)
