I had a much older nvidia card and just had to install the older drivers.
It was with OpenSUSE which has a repo maintained by NVidia directly, and they had generation drivers G03 , G04, G05 etc.
But I did find that while distro hopping that no all linuxes are equal for hardware support.
I had a laptop with a bios bug that would kill Debian based installs, but work fine with fedora or opensuse, and also fine with nixOS. Those distros acknowledge the bug and did a work around.
So if you have interest again, its worth shopping around sometimes.
