My solution was to pick a distro that came with Nvidia drivers set up already (pop os) and have had zero problems with it.
For me, on CachyOS, there does appear to be some fork of the drivers that the OS maintainers have kept up; I haven't really had any complaints. In my case I don't use ultrawide monitors or any unusual features, but maybe others with specific use cases would struggle more.
Me too, Bazzite. That doesn't solve that it runs 15-25% slower than windows in heavy games. Thank god I play mostly indie games.
That doesn't improve the quality of the drivers though... But you seem to not have had issues yet... Are you on wayland though?
There's always a new issue. One time I can't resume of suspending (I think this is still an issue...). Then shutting off a monitor leads to a crash of the driver-stack. I could go on. Just the fact that Nvidia took so long to support GBM properly is a tragedy.
No not on wayland as one of my monitors does not behave with the existing options.
It doesn't fix the drivers but for many the installation and set up is where things go wrong. That's how it was for me.
So you haven't had "zero" problems. AFAIK wayland is already usable with AMD since almost a decade or so... (well not every program was supported yet a decade ago obviously, but, at least these kind of issues that Nvidia has/had are non-existing AFAIK).
For me it was never the installation, just the risk after updating the drivers that yet another issue appears (sometimes old ones were fixed though, to be fair).
