Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Can confirm, in fact there is a reasonable probability that you won't be able to setup the ~~shitty~~ official NVIDIA drivers and the new card will run slower than the old one :(
The blame really goes on Nvidia more than Linux. There's only so much you can do when the manufacturer won't support the card properly
And also the HDMI people since they don't allow drivers that use their official specs to be open source. So to use HDMI 2.1 you have to install a proprietary closed source driver.
They could do it by having a post install blob add-on though so we can blame Nvidia for not putting in the effort.
