If you haven't had any issues with NVIDIA Linux drivers, you can count yourself extremely lucky. In the past, I had a 50/50 chance of boot failure after installing CUDA drivers over 12 different systems. Mainline Ubuntu drivers are somewhat stable, but installing a specific CUDA version from the official NVIDIA repos rarely works on the first try. Switching from Tensorflow to PyTorch has helped a lot though, as Tensorflow was much more picky about the installed CUDA version.
they may have edited their comment but they were commenting on the lack of quality of their Linux drivers (which I agree with but only on a consumer level, never used nvidia in a server)
