Unless you have an Nvidia card.

I've been on linux for years, I work the Nvidia libraries all the time, I alternate booting wayland and X... I even use my AMD IGP as output these days, instead of the Nvidia card.

And I STILL hold my breath wondering if I'm going to get a blackscreen, and have to go into tty mode or boot from a usb stick to investigate and fix it.

I... have had an NVIDIA 2080ti since they are sold (so.. about 6 years?) and use it daily, gaming, using it for selfhosting AI a bit with CUDA and... just works, from gaming to tinkering. I don't get those comments. Sorry you had such a bad experience, it's not mine.

Same thing here. There was a big update earlier this year that made it so I can use Wayland, where before that, it was impossible. At this point, I can't tell you the last time I've had any GPU related issues. Further, I believe that Nvidia is now working with Linux for driver support, so it should get even better going forward.

IF you are a distro hopper try openSUSE, nVidia maintains a repo on their own servers for the SUSE/OpenSUSE drivers. I have not had any GPU issues for 7 years.

I've been lucky then, only problems I'm having (Wayland + NVidia) are:

  • Steam menu corruption, mostly on friends window (can be solved by maximising window)
  • Maximising browser on my second screen results in not all the screen being used, but buttons react as if they were using the whole screen (so you're not clicking where you think you are). Solution is to resize window to maximum manually. Minor annoyance.

Oh and I disabled stand-by entirely. It's was 50/50 if it would return from it. I think most problems are because I have mismatched resolutions (1080 and 1440).
