    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.

        1000% on the money here. You want encode, decode, calculation, acceleration? They got it. Rock solid, beautiful and simple. You want that shit to actually SHOW UP ON SCREEN? Get the fuck outta here. What do you think nVidia is, a GRAPHICS CARD company!?

          I pray for no blackscreen after every update, and I’m not even using it! It’s hooked up to an AMD IGP!

          CUDA always works though, lol.

        You also need the damn driver to work for CUDA. Nouveau doesn’t cut it for that.

        Not in my experience.

      I wouldn’t call their Windows support stellar, either. There’s only one error code for any and all problems and RTXes can be damn finicky if you’re unlucky.

      Latest kernel, wayland, NVIDIA dGPU greater than RTX 900, latest proprietary NVIDIA driver and correct vulkan packages for said driver:

      Don’t see any issues, really

      What does not work?

      Maybe some install steam and choose wrong vulkan dependency 🤔

      Or have vulkan dependency for nouveau installed prior to switching to nvidia drivers

      I just wonder why pacman not automatically chooses the correct dependency 😅 but I am sure there is a reason
