Get an AMD card. Or maybe try Nobara or Pop OS.

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.

No.
using nvidia with any distro is a headache you don't need when making your first linux steps. sort that out first and then you're free to distro hop. it makes sense to endure said pain when you've invested truckloads of money into some RTX monstrosity, for the one you got it's just not worth it.
Your graphics card is literally ewaste at this point. So unless you get something else you might just use integrated graphics by Intel or buy an AMD ryzen G processor with graphics on board.
Anyway, now that NVIDIA isn't a requirement anymore - use whatever you want.
I'm not going to force you to use Linux, but I'll never go back to Windows.
Fedora is good, EndeavourOS is great. I think the AUR (ARCH based) repos really adds to the ease of use.
