Good news , it is just on their Copilot+ computers for now. For now is likely doing some heavy lifting there, though.
I threw Mint on a partition to test moving away from Windows, and sadly does not play well with my 2080ti. This makes me want to put more effort into getting it to work...
I honestly switched to PopOS, which has an NVidia version with the driver baked in, and it was stable as a rock. ended up just being easier for me. (Much better as a gaming OS all around tbh)
That was the next thing i was going to try. Already have the bootable preview on a drive even. Maybe I'll try that first before diving in to the wild west that is getting nvidia to work.
try
$ sudo apt install akmod-nvidia. it's gonna pull in some dependencies and a proprietary driver, and probably break Secure Boot if you have it set up, but that's how i got it to work on Fedora (except i used dnf, of course)Awesome, thanks for the tip! Hopefully makes less of a headache for me tomorrow
There's a lot of work going into nvidia on linux ATM, so its improving pretty fast, but Also you can get a faster amd GPU with the money you can get from selling your 2080 ti
Well good news, I tried Pop_OS and it worked great, so no need to swap cards. Probably going to spend the day backing up my files and installing it on the full drive today
awesome! By the way they are gonna do an overhaul of the ui on popos, look up "pop_os cosmic"
Very nice!
