I had a doctor call in students to look at a huge ball on my neck while I was waiting in the ER for my diagnosis. They shoveled my into different devices 3 times, at one point I saw 7 people crammed into the CT diagnostic room which was obviously made for not more than 3. Turned out I was an excellent example for a (at that point merely assumed) Stage 1 Lymphoma.

Happened about 8 years ago, am healthy now (thank you fellow german taxpayers 👍). Btw, don't hesitate to ask for THC in the hospital if you suffer brutal Nausea & Emesis during chemo, it really helped me.

To frame the current USAID as primarily a destabilizing agency is so unfathomably dense, no matter how much you hate the US… how did a MAGA hat even manage to understand Lemmy's registration process?

To be fair, Nouveau did phenomenal work (reverse-engineering the driver) they shouldn't have had to do if it wasn't for Nvidias stubbornness. Especially for older cards it's the way to go, and it really isn't their fault the proprietary driver sucks so much. Since Nvidia now finally fixes their shit with the new driver (hopefully) it wouldn't make sense to put too much work into supporting any RTX card anymore.

EndeavourOS shipped with the driver, right? Distros that do so tend to have the fewest problems with it, so you dodged a bullet there. A lot of problems arise during its install process or updates due to inconsistent integration or simply Nvidias incompetence (the driver module suddenly missing or not properly loading on a new kernel, stuff like that).

The current official Nvidia driver is known to cause problems during install, during system updates or basically whenever it feels like it (when using Wayland, after hibernation, on rainy days…). Even the most well maintained distros regularly struggle with it, ran into trouble on both Mint and OpenSuse myself in the past.

If you don't have your distro already I'd suggest trying one that comes with the Nvidia driver preinstalled (they then also usually take care of all the small adjustments). Saves you some headache.

Those I can currently think off that ship the proprietary driver (in no particular order): ZorinOS, Pop!_OS, Nobara, Bazzite, EndeavourOS, TuxedoOS, SlimbookOS

Holy shit, your reply is so phenomenally unhinged and disrespectful to other people in so many aspects it's honestly impressive. Hope you get well soon.

I mean, it's good that you do stuff… but seriously guys, how the fuck do you STILL manage to put the economy in first place?

Well, I'm arguing for the common non-IT people. It's also more often than not less about complexity, but intuitiveness paired with a lack of knowledge (which is okay, as long as it's well designed it's okay not to know how a clutch actually works but still wanting or needing to drive a car).

For power users the whole discussion obviously shifts as it's reasonable to expect them having both the interest and time to learn stuff.

Your package manager commands and options and some basic tools to troubleshoot local networking are really not that fucking hard.

Who are you trying to fool, yourself or others? Setting up networking in the CLI isn't even remotely as simple / straightforward as you make it seem for the common user. Package manager commands are reasonable, however also by far less enticing to most people than a graphical software manager that shows all information at a glance. Especially if you look for something for a certain purpose instead of a specific name.

Just realized that person above wants that. Was too focused on the part you quoted, my bad. That's indeed outlandish.

You were absolutely right about everything up until your very last sentence.

We need a distro that comes with GUIs for everything indeed, but shipping without a terminal would be both a bad idea and would cause the distro maintainer to go up in flames immediately.
