The funniest thing about proprietary nvidia drivers on linux is that they’re still easier to install than using the GeForce app lmao.
dnf install akmod-nvidia
No sign in to a fat game launcher ad ridden app to upgrade your GPU driver
That is a lawsuit.
b-but how are they going to protect us minors
from the evil NVIDIA app?!
serious talk tho the overreach was unsurprisingHow the fuck does this protect kids? Adjusting graphics settings? Why not bar them from adjusting volume while they’re at it.
Some of those graphics might be showing boobies. Obviously this must be regulated.
No it is not. Dont be a fucking ridiculous idiot.
Nvidia app is DEI woke. Gotta protect the kids.
wow, wow there. no loud music after 8. If the nightstand mic doesn’t pick up the nightly potus prayer, your front door is getting bust open

I don’t use that shitty application. Just use Nvidia Inspector and Nvidia Control Panel. That application is data collection spyware.
I don’t use that shitty application. Just use Linux.
I’ll switch to Linux when there isn’t a performance trade off for using an Nvidia GPU.
Running a 3060, no issues I can tell.
YMMV obviously: There was some driver fuckery I had to sort out because I’m stupid (curious and clueless is a dangerous mix), and I might not be running the most demanding games or programs (Jedi: Survivor might be one of the heavier ones? I have no idea)
I also might have lower standards: I’m playing 1080p 60fps and generally don’t notice FPS issues unless it drops below ~45, because I grew up using to an old-as-fuck laptop to play Skyrim at 20fps (unless there were too many spells flying around and it dropped to 5-10).
Still, the consensus seems to be that AMD is better for Linux, and I’m coming around too.
Just switch to CachyOS and so far I’ve noticed improved performance if anything (on a 3080 10gb). The latency difference between it and Windows is just unreal.
That’s the case for DX11 or older games but any DX 12 game it’s 20 to 15 percent less performance and that’s a no go for me. Once it gets addressed, then I’ll consider switching.
Maybe it’s system to system, or something with the older nvidia drivers, but I’ve specifically noticed the improved performance in Expedition 33 and Jedi: Fallen Order which I think are both DX11/12?
Looks like they are working on it.
Damn so its gonna get even faster? My Windows install must have been more borked than I thought bc I already get performance parity at minimum. Guess I should have kept up with reformatting annually instead of biennially.
If there are Linux applications that aren’t complete janky shit, I’ll switch.
I need a multitrack DAW recorder that understands older and newer audio interfaces and a good multi-camera video editor.
I use bitwig and davinci and they work great. not sure what you mean by “applications that aren’t complete janky shit.” there are a ton of applications available on linux, both paid and free, and their quality varies as much as anywhere else.
“I tried nothing and I’m all out of options!”
They are denying us the power of the digital age, taking it for themselves.
Lol good luck, the entire thing that makes it so powerful is the collective
You can download the Nvidia driver directly from their website
People who care about privacy wouldn’t use the Nvidia app. (And wouldn’t be on Windows)
Yeah, but Nvidia Cards on Linux are “fun”. Fuck Nvidia
They have worked for a while now. They just aren’t as good as AMD cards but that’s true on all platforms
So it sounds like the wall was written to police more than just porn sites? Or is this companies doing this to harvest your data?
It’s to prevent autonomous agency. It’s to prevent people from having privacy and individuality end of discussion. The last system like this was under the gestapo and secret police under Hitlers regime.
gen z is pushing 30 btw
For the curious 1997-2012 28-13
This happens all the time. I still see what I call boomers (likely younger than actual boomers) call gen z millennials constantly. The oldest millennials are like mid 40s but in the popular imagination we are still kids in our 20s. It’s like society is 10-15 years behind almost
feels so grimm
This is why you Linux, point blank.
Linux beginners and Nvidia cards aren’t really a good mix in all fairness
That’s because people don’t really learn which operating systems work well for NVIDIA drivers. I’d recommend Mint, Pop_OS!, Nobara Project and CachyOS based upon their experience with computers. Those all work well with NVIDIA.
Very good point, always forget Nobara exists but it seems like the best “out of the box” solution if you really don’t want to do it yourself. That being said, to learn anything you need to understand how it works and it’s endlessly frustrating to me that Linux is the one where people just throw their hands up and give up instantly if anything goes wrong and they can’t fix it in the same way they did in a completely different platform.
Nvidia is still closed source, even on Linux…
They did release Open Kernel drivers, which I hadn’t tested. Those are the “open-source” drivers. Sure, their firmware could be proprietary (though I didn’t see any issues with it).
Use the nouveau drivers of course
On Linux you have no official GUI companion app for your graphics card from NVIDIA AFAIK.On X11 you do (I think some distros ship it). Otherwise, that’s not necessarily the case on Wayland.
You are right. I forgot, that there actually is a GUI panel for NVIDIA. It’s pretty simplistic, but still that makes my previous claim false.
nvidia drivers in linux can be a monumental mess
Just don’t use a monitor that’s DRM’d for Windows only. I made that mistake with an FI27Q-SA (AORUS monitor) once, and that was a $600 US waste.
How does that even work, is there just no video output when you boot in to Linux?
That certainly was the case for a long time. I’ve haven’t had any issues for 5+ years. Devs made it a priority.
Does the Linux build of GeForce experience not do this, because if it does then it’s still a problem
We don’t have geforce experience on Linux (afaik). Ubuntu has a built in “proprietary drivers” app that just pulls the Nvidia drivers for you on first boot after install. Very low effort (on the happy path at least. If you use unsupported/brand new cards, you’re probably going to have a much less fun time)
NVCleanInstall lets you install NVidia drivers without using their GeForce Experience software
This is why I am AMD fanboy
This is why I wish I was AMD fanboy :((
Boomers will also get locked out of a lot of content because verifying their age is too complicated. I feel no sympathy.
They did the thing they were supposed to do. They voted for the Ultra-Far Left Woke Labour Party.
Labour hasn’t been anywhere near the left since Tory Blair became leader, he grew up a Tory supporter, failed to get in as a Tory politician so decide on transforming Labour into the neo-Tory party which he was successful at, not that Labour before hand was the friend of the average worker or the poor but at least they were better, now they are hostile to the working class and the poor 😞
Labour hasn’t been anywhere near the left since Tory Blair became leader
Well, there was that brief bright moment with Corbyn. But then he got the Julius Caeser treatment for siding with the Radical Islamist Extremism of the anti-genocide movement.
now they are hostile to the working class and the poor
Okay, but have you considered all the new AI they are helping create.
I cannot tell if you are serious
Dumb take, here take my downvote.
Labour are far left are they. I feel your political compass is somewhat misconfigured.

Shh
Zoomers need to learn they don’t need to use Nvidia’s app for this. Just download the driver directly.
Not adjusting settings, but definitely auto updates which require a login and they’ve been adding more and more things that require an account so they can track you.
Literally nothing about their software should require a login.
It’s asinine
All of these people are future linux enjoyers, they just don’t know it yet.
The trend has accelerated this year, corpos are data mining and they want to court proof data against you.
It has been at least 10 years coming but it is now very clear for what they are going for here.
Between Israeli genocide and pedos within the power structure, the anti resime sentiment is growing too strong and it seems for once, fake news can’t change the narrative.
We are heading into the future where we won’t be able to criticize genocide or pedophiles.
Unfortunately it actually just means less computer literacy. If you can’t use a computer you just stay on your phone.
which is also easier to fingerprint!
any phone that aint grapheneOS, aint worth using imho
however, i doubt grapheneos team will be able to bring a phone to market. looks like US and EU will outlaw them anyway here soon.
You mean outlawing buying a second hand pixel phone and flashing it yourself?
Something like possession of in sanctioned device either related to terrorism or child abuze.
They will start light but it will have a cooling effect where only the brave will still do it and they will die off eventually.
