Thats why i never buy their shit after having one laptop with one of their graphics.

Worst part? I’m still using that laptop, im doing troubleshooting right now.

Anyone else?

    I’ve never had a problem with the Nvidia driver in Arch. I’m convinced more often than not it’s your distros fault it’s not working right

      Yeah, I’ve had no problems either, my distribution handles the NV drivers without issues. I use a Laptop with Intel+NV3060.

      People there just blindly hate nvidia and praise amd. And when I tried once tell the fact, that amd opensource drivers suck - I got a lot of minuses at my comment. Oh well, anyway, I really hope, that all that people will buy amd card one day and suffer as I did. I doubt that will change their opinion, cause they will still hate just_working nvidia drivers, cause “oh no, they not support VRR on my experimental wayland DE”. They focking dumb man, I tell ya. Anyway, I will try to sell my “awesome and opensource” amd 7900xtx and buy cheaper nvidia card. Just cause at cheaper nvidia card I could at least play fucking games and it will not crash my video driver every now and then.

      Driverctl is busted as ass with it, but for daily use I havent found really any issues (Idk if thats distro agnostic or not)

      Ditto. I use the Nvidia driver in Arch, and I forgot that I had it installed. No problems on this machine for more than 6y.

      I have never heard of an installer running in the background causing weird delays requiring weird routines. Maybe it’s the way it’s packaged on their distro, perhaps? Like they’re shipping the installer in the package instead of the contents of the installer?
