Nvidia has linux drivers for all of them.  Now whether your distribution
has packages for a new enough one for a brand new card is always a
potential issue, but usually not for very long.

Now some very old nvidia cards are only supported in legacy drivers these
days, and the oldest legacy driver (the 71.xx driver) no longer works with
current Xorg versions, but the 96.xx driver does, as do all newer ones.
