I don't know if it's me, but right now nvidia on Linux is the least stable it's ever been. I have two desktops, one dedicated Linux box and one I dual boot. On the Linux only one I bought a dirt cheap ($30) Radeon Pro WX 3200 so my system won't crash constantly. I still have the nvidia card for CUDA stuff. It's working great for what I do.
I have a second used Radeon on the way for the other system. It's insane, but this is the only solution. If my monitor turns off or I switch inputs, I can't get it back when connected to the nvidia cards. I've done every troubleshooting step I can find, it's just a broken ecosystem.
I use a 1050Ti (needs the closed source driver) with a Debian 13.
Rock solid and the older titles I play even run smooth in 1440p. Not a single crash -- just have to wait if a new kernel arrives and avoid backpirted kernels.

Which is naturally not what the FOSS community wants.
