If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn’t order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn’t load.

This was me with my 4070. Eventually figured it out, but WOW does Nouveau suck until you get the drivers working. Still, loving Fedora 42 more than Windows 10, so I’m not going back.
To be fair, Nouveau did phenomenal work (reverse-engineering the driver) they shouldn’t have had to do if it wasn’t for Nvidias stubbornness. Especially for older cards it’s the way to go, and it really isn’t their fault the proprietary driver sucks so much. Since Nvidia now finally fixes their shit with the new driver (hopefully) it wouldn’t make sense to put too much work into supporting any RTX card anymore.
Not dissing the Nouveau folk for their work, I’m dissing Nvidia for being so shit as to force it.
@Dogiedog64 Yeah. There was a time when Nvidia did their damnedest to make Nouveau developers’ life a living hell.

AMD and Intel have almost the same performance on Linux. NVIDIA has not though. I had something 10-15% less fps with my RTX 3070, even with a gaming distro, latest NVIDIA drivers running and proton-GE.
