Best Linux Distro for an Old Nvidia GPU?

Asked by CuriousCoder47
I'm looking to install a new Linux distribution on my old Nvidia GTX 660 GPU that requires the 470 drivers. Currently, I have a dual boot setup with Windows 11 and Debian 12, but I'm done with Windows and want to fully switch to Linux. Can anyone suggest a distro that still supports the 470 drivers? I've noticed that many distros have dropped support for older GPUs like mine.

I know someone who has had a good experience using Fedora with older Nvidia cards. They had to download the appropriate drivers from RPM Fusion, but after that, it was pretty smooth sailing for them!

GadgetGuru99: Does that mean it supports all the latest versions of Fedora, or is it starting to face maintenance issues?
