    In terms of performance yeah. Though not every old device keeps working. You’re still vulnerable to driver support for newer kernels. My old Thinkpad no longer functions properly because the Nvidia drivers are not compatible with newer kernels. I can either have an unsafe machine that runs fine or an up-to-date machine that can barely open a web browser.

        I struck lucky. Never had any issues with nvidia on linux in all my >2 decades using linux.

        Still prefer AMD though. Straight through.
