Maybe itโs because mine is old, but my NVIDIA card never interfered with running Mint.
Mint has worked fine with my 1060, 2060, and now 3060.
5070 checking in on Mint, runs fine.
I mean, Nvidia drivers have been shitty on windows too as of late
Hilarious to see this after my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed install booted to a black screen (with a cursor) and no TYY access after a 16 GB update. X_X lol.
Oh well. Been here before, thank God for BTRFS and Snapper integration! Probably just gotta freeze that Nvidia driver again for like a week. Blah.
When it works, I agree with some other posters here: It works fine. My only graphics issues have been "doesn't boot into graphics environment and Nvidia-smi says 'We ain't found shit.'๐ชฎ" LOL
Otherwise it's a LOT better than it's been. I haven't had to go chasing down obscure issues.
Been there! Got that update borked as well, journalctl shows permission errors on /dev/nvidia*
Snapper'ed back as well, waiting for a proper update - bug already reported by others. Freezing driver update was actually problematic because it causes all sorts of dependency issues that end up hard to resolve. Nvidia made a real mess there.
Hey I really appreciate you updating me with that! Thank you. :)
It's not always easy to know if it's a "My machine" problem or a "They've gotta fix it" problem.

Still is. I had to reinstall linux the other day because Nvidia fucked everything up. It wasn't the first time.
I use btrfs with snapshots now.
Please explain.
Why are the drivers shitty if they are doing an amazing job protecting? Not sure from what though?
Protecting windows users from the year of the linux desktop?
