Since nvidia more or less only relies linux kernel (pretty standard) and xorg (pretty standard unless your distro is using bleeding edge and unsupported version by nvidia). So short and sweet answer would be, any distro that is capable of installing these drivers should do equally fine ( can’t help myself: but GENTOO does it better!!! x. D ).
You might be wondering “What is the best Linux distro for NVIDIA cards?”
Preferably a distro with good support for a desktop environment other than gnome or kde. Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Manjaro supports Nvidia quite good., po P_OS should be better than Ubuntu Manjaro is rolling hence drivers are more frequently updated. Solus is rolling and works well with all my nvidia cards. I also agree Manjaro and Pop would be good .
Why does Nvidia not work with Linux?
The issue of NVidia and Linux is not with the Linux distributions, as basically all Linux distributions can run the same drivers. In all versions of Linux, you just download and install the driver package you want. The issue is with proprietary versus open-source code for the NVidia hardware.
Which Ubuntu version has the best support for Nvidia drivers?
If you can wait till the end of the month the new LTS (20.04) of ubuntu should have added easy install for nvidia drivers. And with that, all of the flavors will as well. Solus, arch and pop are the best imo. Mint has also a good support for nvidia.
Is Nvidia support still bad?
Support will always be bad until nvidia fixes its attitude to Linux kernel development. I have a laptop with a GTX 1070 and the proprietary nvidia drivers can’t even render the Linux framebuffer console.
