I don't believe I am, I'm using Fedora + i3 but I don't have any transparency or special fx on the windows. I do remember setting that up on my last machine but it never looked great so I left it out this time.

are you using i3 with compton? Without it my 2070s had screen tearing, with it, weird visual glitches here and there. never figured it out

Compton sounds familiar, I think that's what I was confusing for wayland before. It adds a bunch of transparency effects and other "nice to haves" but I believe I had similar issues.

Drivers on Linux have always been ... non-ideal. I use the Fedora kmod drivers these days. It's held up nicely so far without any boot halts.
