I built my PC just over three years ago, and recently I've noticed some antivirus software installed that I didn't choose. Despite my attempts to remove it through the control panel, it keeps reappearing alongside other unnecessary programs. Given my limited storage, I've decided to factory reset my computer. With Microsoft pushing towards more AI experiences, I've been considering installing Nobara Linux after the reset. However, I've heard that using Nvidia GPUs with Linux can be problematic. Is Nobara a good choice for someone new to Linux with an Nvidia GPU, or should I consider different distros or save up for an AMD GPU instead?

I'd suggest checking the specific issues with any antivirus software you've noticed. As for your GPU, it's crucial to know the model. Fortunately, many distros handle Nvidia cards like the 3060 Ti pretty well nowadays. Have you considered trying out different Linux live environments first? That way, you can test compatibility without committing immediately.
Honestly, if you're looking for a beginner-friendly experience, Nobara could be a solid choice, especially if you're into gaming. There are others like Pop!_OS, which also play nicely with GPUs, but it really depends on what you plan to do. Just be prepared to learn a bit along the way, especially with arch-based distros that give you more control but might be a bit more complex.
What GPU are you using? That can really influence your experience with Linux. If it’s the RTX 3060 Ti, that should work relatively well with modern Linux distros, including Nobara, Pop!_OS, or even Bazzite, which is focused on gaming. Each has its perks, but for smooth gaming and ease of use, I'd recommend sticking to these. Just make sure to backup your data before diving in!
