Nvidia SUCKS! (discuss.tchncs.de)

I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven't really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly. windows won't show, the Steam Friends List window hangs. This is almost unusable.

NAK and GSP cannot be merged soon enough so I can get rid of this proprietary atrocity.

This is why LTS kernels are a good thing. I used 6.1 that entire time and didn't even know the issue existed on my 6700XT

I'm someone that likes to tinker and be on the bleeding edge, but I agree, LTS makes sense on hardware that is more than 6 months old or so.

Yeah, same reason I use LTS. Latest features are nice and all but I want a stable system for my everyday life.

LTS is no guarantee that there wont be bugs, 6.1 recently had a bug with NFS where it corrupted files.

I didn't say it was?

You do get fewer bugs, though, and equally frequent hotfixes

[–] tomten 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No you didnt, I was just trying to say that you're not safe either way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Safety is a sliding scale. You're certainly safer than bleeding edge
