    I wish I had known about all these problems with Nvidia’s shit on Linux and gone with a new AMD GPU instead of a 3070Ti. I HAD been using AMD/Radeon since the late-00s, I don’t know WTF was wrong with me. Nvidia wasn’t this bad in the early 2000s. It was the only way to run hardware-accelerated Unreal Tournament on Linux at the time.

      Two years ago I made the switch to AMD when I needed to replace my ageing 1060 (still on Windows back then) and I’m so glad I did because I avoid all of the headaches with getting Nvidia to work on Linux

        Mine works fine. Never did check which drivers I’m using though. I like the cuda cores for davinci resolve, and dlss for games that struggle on my ultra wide monitor (looking at you, cyberpunk)

        If it wasn’t for those 2 things I will be gone next card refresh. Truthfully the main reason I went Nvidia in the first place was old habits. ATI/AMD traditionally had no driver support for Linux, or at least worse than Nvidia who actually had an official driver package. Things have changed though.

    At least you can roll back the drivers on a computer.
    It’s even more infuriating when a TV manufacturer rolls out an update with “bug fixes and improvements”, and you know full well that if they broke ARC again, there is no going back to the old version.

    Well, caching more changelogs requires RAM, right? You know the stance of NVidia regarding more RAM.

    I bought an old computer to install plex. At one time I wanted to try some tool that does speech to text and decided to install Nvidia drivers to speed the process. I messed up my system and tried for hours to fix it but I gave up. Now I don’t have gui.
