 Any problems with Nvidia?  TUF is far enough away from Toughbook to not
trigger the lawyers.

Speaking as someone who has a computer with similar specifications to that one and from the same brand, I can say that NVIDIA is hit or miss. However, it has gotten very good in the past few years. The wake from suspend problem that has constantly been an issue for users of NVIDIA GPUs has been resolved across the board unless you use hardware encryption. It also works as expected in Wayland and plays games without issue. I imagine that there are quirks here and there, but I don't think that there is a reason to avoid Linux any longer.
