  • 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.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • 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 just upgraded to an AMD card yesterday because of the Nvidia driver nightmare lol

    Yeah same here a few weeks ago. Glad I did though.

    my only issue nowadays is stuttering on wayland.

    installing it is actually pretty straightforward on ubuntu.

    Probably should've been "installing and using nvidia drivers".

    eh, its not that bad nowadays if you arent doing anything fancy. could be better, could be worse.

    ill still favor AMD on linux, but nvidia users can use linux now without that much friction. exception is maybe optimus laptops.

    It's definitely better than say a year ago, but it's always a new small issue. Like suspend is not working, or shutting the monitor off crashes the graphics stack etc.

    I really hope they get their shit together and build a solid wayland support at some (not too distant) time. But the amount of issues is small enough for me that I've switched to it.

    they are building nvk. it seems, in typical fashion for them, they are letting the community do it. we are already using the open kernel driver and it works well, and the community is also working on reimplementing it properly.

    seems like things will indeed fall into place in a not too distant time.

    i'm also not having issues beyond the stutter just yet. in any case, looking forward to get my radeon back from the repair shop.

    So true! Last week I did a fresh install of Mint with the recommended nvidia drivers, and only installed Brave, Steam, Discord, and Vampire Survivors on my 3080 PC... 15 FPS at best. Tried the open source nvidia drivers and, which stopped Steam from working (so weird). Re-installed steam and Vampire Survivors and still couldn't get anything to work (even tried, and failed, to run a few other games). Boy it would be nice if nvidia put in more work to support Linux. 2025 will be the year for Team Red!

    Honestly, all it took these days is reading the news.

    it's the same as installing programs on your pc, the biggest issue would be that you have to use a cli because I dont know if you can install Nvidia drivers via gui
