    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.
