Well that is weird. I built a desktop back in 2008 and fitted it with a Nvidia 9800GT. Installed Debian, then installed the nvidia-driver[0] package. That comes with the DKMS package[1] which builds the source and auto installs the module (and does this also for any new kernel update). Literally never had a problem. Don't think suspend ever worked, but this is a desktop so I didn't care. Also built a machine for my grandma back in 2008, went with the Debian and nvidia combo again. She's still using it, no problem.

I think the current issue with nvidia is they are refusing to support the new wayland stuff and ditch X server. In that case, I've got my eye on an ATI RX460.

I've been using Nvidia cards since the Geforce 4, and I've never had any noteworthy issues, aside from a buggy version here and there (easily fixed with a rollback to the previous version.)

However, for laptops and any other machine where graphics power is not a high priority, I just stick with basic integrated graphics, they do seem to behave better in regards to suspend and other power management.
