  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I use mint on two different machines with Nvidia GPUs. One is a several year old desktop with a 1080 and the other is a two year old Dell laptop with a discrete nvidia GPU in addition to the Intel one on the processor.

    Now granted I don’t play a ton of games right now, and when I do they usually aren’t cutting edge, but I don’t recall many problems so far. I use NVENC for Jellyfin and editing videos more often, and that has been pretty smooth. The one issue I had was related to that though. Kdenlive (flatpak) updated and could no longer export videos because it was looking for a newer version of something my mint-supplied nvidia driver wasn’t yet updated to have.

    Trying to install a newer driver manually was a whole damn thing though, so I rolled back the kdenlive flatpak to the one that worked.

    It was a horror show a decade or two back when I first tried Linux. I feel like this meme is just too late or just old.

    Yeah, I used a 1070 on arch for years without any issue, recently switched over to an Intel arc gpu and that gave me way more problems (admittedly most of it was my "fault" for being on an old mbr scheme, needing to enable rebar, and needing to switch from xorg to wayland... but that's just what happens when a graphics card is so stable you don't feel the need to reinstall your os or change anything major). I am not hired by Nvidia nor do I support their business practices when it comes to making development on Linux difficult or creating proprietary standards like cuda, just stating my personal experience with their drivers.
