Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Lies. You wouldn't buy a PC with Nvidia nonsense just to install Linux.

    Nvidia used to be the easy way to go. The open-source Nouveau driver lacked functionality. The official Nvidia driver was proprietary but worked well. (Though the Radeon drivers were proprietary at the time too. And Intel graphics hardware was always poor.)

    Wild how things turn around.

    Serious question because I'm in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense.. so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS

    You'll want the nvidia drivers. Nouveau is now usable with AMD cards I think, I'm on nvidia so I'm not 100% sure on that
