So many things I'd rather do than go back to Windows (sh.itjust.works)

is it also easier than installing nvidia drivers on linux?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

No clue. I don't even bother with Nvidia.

I have zero issues installing drivers for Nvidia on Linux

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I'd say in the 10+ years of using Linux, and most of those have been with Nvidia. Maybe 5% of the time I've had an issue, half the time it's fixed within a few minutes.

i only had issues with nvidia in fedora, since i moved to arch i havent had many issues (other than making installing the os take a few minutes longer)

Might depend on the flavor of Linux, but I had no issue at all with PopOS or Mint

from my experience fedora is horrible at installing the nvidia drivers. i had no issue with arch though, other than installation taking a bit longer

I had ONE hick-up with Nvidia drivers on arch in about 6 years. I needed to downgrade them initially when Valve released the new Steam UI. That's been fixed pretty fast. When I'm thinking back it was the only problem I had with arch upgrades in its entirety apart from one that was completely on me: installing KWinFT which completely messed up some system libraries (but was repairable). Arch was nothing but rock solid stable for me.

arch has been really stable for me too, the only things that ever happened on my pc has either been the clock unsyncing(probably errors when installing arch) or thinking an update of nvidia drivers made all the black parts of the screen glitch(my old gpu just broke down, nothing to do with the drivers)

Have you even used Linux in the last fifteen years?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i have, and the only issue i ever had with nvidia drivers was in fedora when i had just started using linux. i wasnt being serious when i said its hard.

In that case, you are forgiven.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

thank you for your forgiveness.
