    I'm so confused by why people have trouble with Nvidia on Linux. I have been using Debian and Ubuntu for as long as I can remember with Nvidia and it's never been a problem. Now I use Pop and it's perfectly fine too. No problem running dual 4K 60Hz monitors... Is the support bad on non-Debian distros?

    [–] BRBWaffles 1 points 10 months ago

    Depends on the distro. I spent a lot of time in the TTY with NixOS before I was able to get my 4070 Ti working. On Pop it worked out of the box, but that's not a worthwhile trade-off to me these days. Nix or bust.

    On EndeavourOS I had some trouble for a bit but I think I got some drivers from flatpak and they worked with no problem.

    What about 4K 120Hz with HDR? How well does that work on Linux with nVidia?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Use KDE on the very latest kernel on Wayland, in theory it should work well but YMMV.

    Good to know, thanks. I want to switch so badly but last time I checked, HDR support on *nix is still in its early stages. I'll check it out.

    KDE very recently implemented some HDR support thanks to Valve, GNOME is still waiting on some PR getting merged.

    4k 120Hz will work without any special setup but HDR is a whole nother thing
