From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think for NVIDIA or other proprietary drivers like AMDGPUPRO, Ublue images are best. They have images that they build with the NVIDIA driver and everything preinstalled, if an update fails, they will simply not ship it, if it breaks something on your system, you simply roll back.
And in contrast to regular Fedora Atomic (Silverblue, Kinoite,...) it has all the Codecs and drivers included, so you can directly run things like Resolve or Games on it with minor installation.
EOS has generally been fine with the NVIDIA-DKMS drivers. The only funky thing that happened to me was that for about a month on my 1650 the HDMI output was not recognized, and I had to flip to Windows to use the external monitor on my laptop.
