    I don’t understand why new Linux folks immediately go for Arch-based distros and insist on using Nvidia GPUs. Like, are you guys into suffering or something?

      When I started using Linux circa 2008 Nvidia was the way. ATI/AMD would never work as well. Fast forward and I still use Nvidia because of cuda cores and davinci resolve for video editing. I’ve just been on the Nvidia card game for a long time. I have no problems with it still.

      As for arch base, I started that in 2015. Just found it more flexible and AUR is awesome. So much more software that I could not get on a debian based system.

      I used endeavorOS (basically pure Arch with a GUI installer) and I have had 0 issues with Nvidia GPUs, in fact it was a smoother experience than anything else.

      Ugh, I got a 2080 years ago and it’s been such a pain in the ass. Never again.

      I never understood what you people do with your machines, through the years i must have used at least half a dozen nvidia gpus and never had any real issues.

      Of course early on you had to compile your drivers in the kernel yourself, but then I’m not even sure ati had drivers at the time. And that’s how you configured the kernel anyway.

        Damn, sorry to hear that, my experience with the 480 was really good. Admittedly AMD wasn’t quite caught up yet with hardware video encoding at the time that card was designed (basically a reskinned 480). Specifically, hardware video encoding has gotten drastically better since then on AMD cards.
