Hard no, with an Nvidia GPU you absolutely should go for a distro like Bazzite to avoid the driver headache.
I switched to AMD for my own use a long time ago because of how this used to be the case, so I can’t verify this for myself, but… these days, isn’t that no longer an issue for anyhing newer than Turing? I see RTX 3060 TI in there, which should be fully supported by the open-source drivers that NVIDIA themselves recommend for that hardware, no?
Again, I could be wrong since I haven’t had direct personal experience with it since the days when I DO know that your statement accurately reflected the NVIDIA GPU + Linux driver situation.

edit: oh I see,
nvidia-utilsis still a closed thing and the only alternative is Zink/NVK unless you go back to nouveau. I got it confused with something else. carry on
