I only had a driver issue with Nvidia once in more than 10 years running Linux with Nvidia exclusively (need Nvidia for Cuda (and Cuda for work)) and that was fixed by temporarily downgrading
I wish I had that experience. I’ve had issues on every machine/distro I’ve tried to get NVidia working on. Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, you name it, there’s been driver issues.
Apparently newer cars (20 series or newer) have a lot more problems
Currently I've a 3090 before that I had a 1060 and the 3090 I bought almost at release. I genuinely never had a problem.
I hate saying this because of the all the toxic attitudes around but I ran gentoo and now arch Linux. Maybe they package the proprietary driver better?
I've been tested Linux since 2005 every time I have to reinstall windows and I've never once been able to get Nvidia to work easily. I've done it but it's always been a bitch and a half.
