I have had issues with nvidia, but I have had one of the worst most infuriating bug with AMD that to this day still isn't fixed and causes issues for people at random(fill gpu crashes). I liked my old Vega card, I even switched it out for TWO different modern ones with similar errors. Put in my old GTX and it ran without issues. I would not discourage people from using nvidia, it just isn't as smooth sailing with it sadly.

I'd argue Linux is never a smooth sailing, which is its main problem since forever and what is stopping it from rising. If you have an opportunity to reduce the risk, especially if you're not a tech-nerd and new to Linux, I'd really try to focus on that.
