Can I use NVIDIA GPUs on Linux in 2024?

My question is: If I'm building a PC and I want to use Linux on it, can I choose an NVIDIA card for it or is an AMD Radeon a better option? I asked this question in some PC Building forums, and what they could tell me is that AMD has better open-source drivers and they had / heard of some "headaches" with NVIDIA gpus. However I read a lot of articles about NVIDIA also releasing open-source drivers, how to make it work on Wayland etc. So, as most of the people in those PC hardware forums are windows users anyway, I wanted an opinion from the software side: Is it in 2024 still a bad idea to use NVIDIA Geforce GPUs on Linux? And what "headaches" could bring it? When saying "Linux" I mean Mint / Ubuntu at first, I read that it'd be easy to install NVIDIA drivers with the ubuntu-drivers command, but maybe I'd also like to try some Arch or other distros, I think I'd have to manually install them there, but it also seem to be not too complicated. I have no problem with using proprietary drivers, and would prefer the real NVIDIA drivers over Nouveau.
