Nvidia SUCKS! (discuss.tchncs.de)

I am trying to repeat my 10 Benchmarks video on my 3080M laptop, which I haven't really used for a while apart from testing NVK. I had forgotten just HOW much Nvidia sucks. I had to reinstall the OS cause OpenSUSE stopped booting after I installed the drivers the first time. X11 is ALSO buggy on Nvidia and crashes randomly. windows won't show, the Steam Friends List window hangs. This is almost unusable.

NAK and GSP cannot be merged soon enough so I can get rid of this proprietary atrocity.

To be fair AMD recently had a bug where the 6000 series GPUs would sit at 96 mhz unless you set your refresh rate below 100hz and that also took a couple months to be fixed. I was randomly getting 20fps in every game until I managed to find this gitlab issue. It started in kernel 6.4 and wasn't fixed until 6.6 so I had to play at 90hz on my 165hz monitor for that whole span.

This is why LTS kernels are a good thing. I used 6.1 that entire time and didn't even know the issue existed on my 6700XT

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I'm someone that likes to tinker and be on the bleeding edge, but I agree, LTS makes sense on hardware that is more than 6 months old or so.

[–] uranibaba@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, same reason I use LTS. Latest features are nice and all but I want a stable system for my everyday life.

[–] tomten@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

LTS is no guarantee that there wont be bugs, 6.1 recently had a bug with NFS where it corrupted files.

I didn't say it was?

You do get fewer bugs, though, and equally frequent hotfixes

[–] tomten@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No you didnt, I was just trying to say that you're not safe either way.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

Safety is a sliding scale. You're certainly safer than bleeding edge
