Rant: Year of Linux on the desktop
Aw man, is that true? Can I not get Nvidia's proprietary drivers on Linux, at least?

Yes, you can. That's what I and almost everyone with Nvidia cards do. The big caveat IMO is if you want GSync/FreeSync, you can't use Wayland. It is also in general less stable/polished with Wayland. I'm ok using Xorg though, at least on my desktop.

You can. I don't know much about them. I do know that some software (especially Wayland compositors) don't like the closed source nvidia drivers.
