Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I have a w10 PC and an Nvidia card. You install NVidia GeForce Experience and click "download", then "install".

    For AMD, you would install AMD Catalyst and do the same.

    No bloatware for either.. don't do things the hard way!

    You must log in into geforce to use it=spyware

    Give me my driver and nothing more

    Make a fake email?

    [–] BURN 1 points 1 year ago

    You can download just the driver directly from Nvidia and not install GeForce experience

    nVidia drivers also contain on-by-default telemetry you just installed willingly.

    If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

    I can say this about literally anything. You bought a new car, but it requires you to send nudes to the automobile company owner to be able to start the car? If you're concerned with it, then you have an issue. If you're not, you don't.

    well, GeForce Experience IS bloatware IMO, so... I'm screwed that way, I guess.

    [–] BURN 3 points 1 year ago

    Don’t even need GeForceExperience. You can download the driver installation exe directly from Nvidia without installing the bloatware.
