Yeah, I donโt buy nvidia for this exact reason. No amount of performance matters if the drivers are broken
What does not work for you? And which nvidia GPU?
Last nvidia gpus I owned were water-cooled GTX 670s in SLI back when I ran windows. Ever since then Iโve always chosen AMD or intel, because of the in-kernel drivers.
I see, yea those cards are extremely bad supported by nvidia and are only usable with nouveau in my opinion. But nouveau got pretty good, and was the first GPU I owned that worked with wayland well (have an old MacBook for funnsys running arch with a nvidia at about that age)
But the โnewerโ cards (like rtx stuff) are working very good with wayland now in my experience (rtx 980 in my Desktop)
But in kernel is still way better, ๐ nvidia driver updates always take so long to install
Yeah, I had to exchange my laptop for another one with an AMD GPU because Wayland was so broken, and I was getting serious input lag in games, even on X11.
And this was a few months ago. NVK worked a bit better, but compatibility wasn't great, and performance was about 50% of the proprietary driver.
