  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    It's really ironic and embarassing. The most valuable chip manufacturer in the world, thanks to advances in AI and AI research, which is usually done using Linux systems. And yet Nvidia still sucks hard when it comes to Linux support.

    Nvidia graphics support.

    Their money is in headless systems, which TBF are much less problematic with Nvidia. Anything CUDA is first class on Linux with Windows as an afterthought.

    Not in my experience.

    This is why I don't update Nvidia drivers unless there's a fix I need. If it's stable, that's all I want.

    [–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

    Until the GPU cooks itself anyway, because nvidia can't admit their new power connector was a mistake.

    I'm wanting to switch my gaming PC to mint from Windows. I'm new to Linux, that's why I'm going with mint. What GPU should I buy for my use? (RTX is not important to me. I just need it to play my games well)

    If you already have one, just try that, see if it works.

    You'll probably be fine with anything, NVidia's gotten to work well over the last year or two. If you want to be safe any AMD card should work well.

    I'd just buy the best used AMD card in your budget.

    I had a ton of trouble getting my R9 390 working on Linux, so ymmv

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I think that card fell right in the gap when the switch from the older Radeon driver to amdgpu happened (or sth. across those lines, I sometimes see that exact architecture needing some love to run nicely). Didn't had any issues with anything from RX 550 upwards ever since amdgpu became the default.

    Ah, that would make sense. Too bad I had to upgrade to Nvidia since I do 3D modeling.

    [–] Pockybum522@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    What does 3D modeling have to do with that?

    Some people "I don't care why it doesn't work, it's Linux's fault!"
