Nvidia ends support at some point, no matter which OS. Your card is one of the oldest series still supported (Turing), they just cut support for roughly gtx750 to 1080 - Maxwell, Pascal, Volta). So 10 years from now, you won’t get working Nvidia drivers anymore and will have to rely on older driver versions. But unlike Windows -where you will have the same problem and MS won’t care at all- you will have distros or their communities still providing those older drivers regularly and also there is a open source driver. And your card is the first generation supported by that driver, although with still some hickups. TL;DR: I can’t absolutely guarantee that your card still works in 10 years as Nvidia’s support will just end at some point. But your chances are a) very good and b) definitely much better on Linux than on Windows.
