I’m thinking about switching over but I’ve been worried because I have an nvidia gpu in my gaming rig. I see some people say that’s no problem while others claim keeping the drivers up to date is a pain.

There are two reasons people complain about Nvidia drivers on Linux. The first is because they are proprietary, which doesn’t matter for anyone except turbo nerds.

But Nvidia drivers used to be pretty bad on Linux. But I genuinely don’t think I’ve had a driver crash since I installed my 2070 back in like 2019. I’ve upgraded to a 3080ti and I still haven’t had any issues. I have a 4k/120hz HDR monitor and don’t have any issues with that either.

you can install it as “dual boot”, which lets you choose either Windows or Linux at boot. this is the best way to test it out, since all it takes up is a bit of storage while you try it. if you decide you don’t like it, you can remove it and pretend like it never happened.

i don’t know enough about graphics cards to tell you anything about that side of stuff, but i have heard complaints about nvidia + linux before. i don’t know if that’s still a thing, but i can only assume it’ll be something that will improve as one country keeps firing some of its best people
