Quite liking it so far, though it’s a bit like stepping back 20 years with the fiddling to get some games working. Next step will probably be ditching the Nvidia card for something else.

    People exaggerate issues with Nvidia. There’s certainly some substance to it, but having used Nvidia for ~10 years on Linux, it’s fine. The main caveats only really apply if you’re on a bleeding edge distro and want the latest features working.

    Here are the issues I’ve had:

    • kernel/driver mismatch - solved by manually reinstalling the package, loading from snapshot and trying again in a few days (happened 2-3x/year)
    • Wayland support - keep using X11 if Nvidia is giving you issues on Wayland

    That’s it. It largely works fine. You probably won’t get all of the features (not sure about the state of DLSS and RTX on Linux), but it’ll get the job done.

    I’ve since switched to AMD and am happier, but if i found a good deal on an Nvidia card, I’d switch back.
