Talking from experience with a 3090 on ZorinOS (so Ubuntu family so old kernels i think, maybe it’s different on more recent ones), it mostly works. The two main problems i encountered are screen tearing across all games, and the screen sleep mode which didn’t work (but going from Zorin 17 to 18 solved this one, probably bc newer kernels worked best), and other than that it’s been smooth
Except if you have an old NVIDIA card. The current kernel doesn’t support the old binary drivers anymore and the nouveau drivers are slow and buggy.
I mean that’s sorta the point of DKMS?
Will it support a 3090?
I got it working out of the box with bazzite.

Yes, that’s a new card well supported by the proprietary driver. I’m talking about cards older than 5 or 10 years.
The post specifically mentions old computers.
That would explain some of the issues I was having with VRAM.
