The issue is Nvidia itself. There are drivers that are open source and are delivered with the OS if you want to. Those suck though since they don't have the optimisation. If nvidia said they would go for open source drivers(they have open sourced some stuff recently with hopefully more to come) they could be put in the kernel like with AMD. And when they are open source people can earlier accommodate software for it.
Currently nvidia runs best on x11 which is slowly being replaced by wayland. Nvidia and wayland don't work well together and that's mostly because nvidia doesn't care to add functions that would help it. If it was open source people could make pull requests with patches for it. But alas, we're not there yet. IMHO and my personal experience nvidia works on Linux, just not as fancy as AMD.
