So they are producing drivers for their cards, and I still don’t understand your comment. They’re not fully open source, which is a valid concern, but you said they “often don’t give much of a shit about linux”…they’re literally producing drivers for their cards for Linux, just like they do for Windows. I’m not sure what else you want them to do.
I went here and was able to find 64 bit Linux drivers for GTX 1080 Ti that were released as far back as January 24th of this year. I didn’t search other models but it’s clear that at least that 10-series card is being supported.
The way I understood the article, only some drivers were being open-sourced (and then only partially).

For some of their cards as the article mentions.
Regularly release drivers for more of their graphic cards, including older ones like the GTX 10-series which are still incredibly popular.
