I've been using Steam longer than HoloISO and I also used Nvidia 15+ years ago but I much prefer the updated interface, and Valve have no time to code around Nvidia's bullshit so the there are hard crashes.
I switched to AMD after the RX480 and haven't looked back. That was 8 years ago, so there hasn't been a good reason to use NVIDIA for a long time.
It's fine if you want to use Mint, but it doesn't make Nvidia a good person here.
