From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The absolute best fix I've found for Nvidia on Linux is to buy an AMD GPU. Best decision of my PC life.
No space in my Thinkpad for an AMD GPU.
E-GPU? lol
Yes, an electric GPU.
Yes, that. Lmao
I have Intel iGPU and Nvidia dGPU on my laptop, it works perfectly with Prime offload. I never need to switch, it uses Intel for desktop/VA-API and offload for games. No issues, at all on my distribution.
Anyway, every thread have your kind of unhelpful comment. The thing is some people have Nvidia, some have AMD and AMD also have bugs. Let's try to make everyone happy, not everyone have piles of money to throw after new hardware.
I replaced my 1660 with a 6700XT and I didn't have to do anything, just plug and play. No drivers or anything. It was ah-mazing
Yup. I got the 6600 from Facebook market for $100. Same thing, plug and play. Fuck shitvidia
