Sorry if I’m not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

    well that won’t happen because they are still the best option for compatibility unless you’re using linux

      Works great for me. I installed the Nvidia package and everything simply works, and the driver is automatically updated when I do a system upgrade.

      And AMD still doesn’t have a solid answer to CUDA on consumer GPUs, as far as I know.

      Edit: works great for me on linux

        oh don’t get me wrong, when nvidia is an option for linux it seems to work ok, while maybe an older driver, but some distros are a pain to get the nvidia driver installed, or are designed around AMD like ChimeraOS. Not sure if you can still add nvidia to that distro, I haven’t tried yet.

          Ok, maybe don’t use an os that is designed around AMD if you have an Nvidia GPU.

          I used Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and arch (current os) and it worked great on every single one. I did a downgrade on arch three times now (average once every 10 months or so), but to be frank I did the same for other software, that’s more an arch thing than a Nvidia thing.

          It’s also the most up to date driver, at least on arch.
