So Linux is a no-go on Nvidia? I need to buy AMD graphics?
>>107832795It's not a no-go, you should just expect it to require troubleshooting more often than if you were using AMD or Intel.
yesit's a waste of money to buy a big nvidia card for linux because the drivers leave 50% performance on the table
>>107832795>So Linux is a no-go on Nvidia? I need to buy AMD graphics?Yes, Linux is a no go if you have anything that isn't an NVIDIA GPU.t. Intel ARC owner
>>107832872*AMD GPU
>no-go on NvidiaI have a modern Nvidia GPU and I had zero problems with that. Tried both on NixOS, CachyOS and even GNU Guix.It's been some years since Nvidia stopped being an ass to linux users.
>>107832795no it's not, 5090 and LACT just works
>>107832795It works, just less well that on win. But unless you are a moron no it’s absolutely not “no go”.
I'm told that Bazzite comes with Nvidia drivers by default. You could look into that.
>>107832795It works literally just fine, I don't know why the fuck people complain about it. But to be fair I only use 1 monitor, with no scaling, without FreeSyncs or G-Syncs or whatever.
>>107832994But isn't Nvidia still broken and much slower than AMD on Linux?
>>107833019Does Nvidia even have working MPO? Last I checked its broken as shit on Windows and Linux for them in 2026.
>>107832795Sexo
>>107832891>even GNU GuixLies. Linux-libre does not even have display output for Nvidia cards after the 700 series.
>>107832795No, only retards say that.
>>107832795Women shouldn't be allowed to dress like that.
>>107832795I look like that and say that
I have a 5060 Ti 16GB, installed Arch and configured my card in minutes straight from the distro. Everything works perfect, played Doom Eternal through Steam, worked like a charm. I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about Linux+Nvidia, maybe years ago it wasn't that straightforward.
>>107833202Nobody uses GNU Guix without nonguix lol: https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/
>>107832795Most distros work fine on Linux with Nvidia. Nvidia proprietary drivers work well with CUDA on Linux, and the default assumption in the ML space is that you're using a Ubuntu based OS and an Nvidia GPU with CUDA support.What people mean when they say "Nvidia doesn't support Linux" is that Nvidia doesn't dedicate resources towards open source consumer oriented drivers (like AMD does). The Nvidia proprietary Linux drivers work great for CUDA and productivity work. They just aren't very good at gaming (i.e., the main thing consumers are going to want GPU horsepower for).
I fall in love with OP!
BUMP
>>107833079>>107833075So Nvidia is shit on Windows & Linux?
>>107832795My a4500 works great.
>>107832891NixOS + Nvidia, I used to have trouble with Steam games (and their custom compositor), screensharing and some minor visual bugs. Switched to AMD and everything was solved
>>107832795threads about driver warfare need to be banned. both work obviously and have for more than two decades. can we just ban windows users from this trash heap?
>>107832795Nvidia works on Linux but requires proprietary drivers and can have issues with Wayland. AMD is the easier, plug-and-play choice with fully open-source driver support. For hassle-free Linux, AMD is strongly recommended.
