I don't think there's any incentive for Nvidia to make this a Windows-only device, so most likely it will be fully supported on Linux, just like their GPUs are.

There's also the precedent of the several ARM Linux systems they shipped that tended to have much worse support.

So with proprietary blobs that give you more trouble that they're worth?
Those blobs are worth $5T; show some respect.
Kids these days, amirite?
What trouble? If you want a GPU that works on Linux, let alone FreeBSD, you buy nVidia, install their drivers and get on with your life (and sure, maybe you can't use Wayland, but why would you want to?). I'm all for open-source in theory, but in practice the AMD drivers cause far more trouble than the nVidia ones ever do.
Depends. It is the typical Nvidia problem. Everything is a black box but when it all works it is the best option available. But when it breaks, you hate them with a passion.
I've never had a single problem with my Nvidia GPUs on Linux.
They worked with Microsoft to make this commercially viable. That’s possibly reason enough.
I wouldn't trust it to have good upstream support. It's Nvidia. So not really interested.
