    The people who are yapping about this kind of stuff literally haven’t even looked around or explored any of the options. Nvid drivers running flawlessly for years.

        What distros have you actually tried? And what does “not working like they should have” actually mean?

          I tried Fedora, Debian, Bazzite, Nobara, CachyOS and some others I cannot recall. Not working ranged from jot being able to get through initial setup (fedora after install), not being able to install at all, unexplained graphical glitches everywhere and performance under any kind of load being worse than playing on a laptop.

            I’ve used nearly every one of those distros and I’ve never had problems. Based on what you’re describing, it doesn’t sound like problems that exist inside the driver. Best of luck to you.

      Lmao this is absolutely false, and the fact that you think this means you’re either hilariously misinformed, actively sticking your head in the sand, or outright lying.

        How is he misinformed when he does not have problems? I had NVIDIA cards for more than 15 years, never an issue with the linux drivers. Then I got an AMD and the driver occasionally crashes, bringing the whole desktop down.

      Sure bro, all the endless people having issues with those shitty drivers are at fault. Nvidia is making a whole new driver because they just love to do it, not because the old one is a huge mess.

      I’m doing my best helping family and friends with these things on various distros, but by now they all moved over to AMD or Intel or are in the process of it; even swapping out RTX 3000 series cards because the driver keeps fucking up and the Wayland support is a hot mess. Every single time the constant issues and glitches vanished once the Nvidia was thrown out. Nvidia on Linux is just hot garbage.

        I mean, if there are working drivers that don’t have issues, and you’re using those that do, it’s not entirely your fault, but also it’s your fault.

          mate one issue is the one installed by default on many distros is wrong, the idea that the average person is going to be able to run horrible commands to rip the kernel drivers back out again and force install a version that isn’t the one recommended by the repo (which is what I had to do to get mine working) is simply ridiculous. THAT is not a user’s fault.
