Comment by Gakomi@lemmy.world on Driving an AE86 apparently feels just like using wayland with NVIDIA

Been using it for half an year now, either the issues are insignificant or I do not observ them cause it’s not bothering me!

What’s your hardware and distro ? I have an Nvidia card and am considering a switch next year

Welp, that was a plot twist. But, I use a Ryzen 3600 with a GTX 1660, nvidia-open driver on arch, wayland tested with gnome, kde and hyprland, had 0 issues as far as I can tell.

Ok 1 issue, but afaik this is wayland not wayland + nvidia - couldn’t get stanley parable to work.

Do you have it on Steam? It should work if you use the Windows version on proton instead of the native Linux version.

I refunded it already, none of the proton versions launched at all for some reason, the native version I got to launch but it was frozen. From what I found googling it was a wayland problem, but I was on hyprland at the time and I was not going to go through the hassle of getting an X session just to get a game running, so I just refunded it citing problems starting the game on linux.

I did not go through detailed troubleshooting, I am over trying to finnick and fiddle to get games to run, if your stuff does not work OOTB or reasonably close to it, you are not getting my money. Most games do, I will rather leave my cash and my time playing something that works than troubleshooting and getting something that doesnt to do so. That goes double for something that is supposed to run native on Linux.

Ok ! so you have a choice between two drivers with Nvidia ? do both support optix ?

I have not looked into Optix, couldn’t tell you.

Hardware Ryzen 7 5800x with RX 6800xt 32gb ram as for distro Arch Wayland KDE.

But that’s an AMD card

That the point Nvidia drivers are not grate on Linux I got AMD card specifically for this reason! Had an GTX 1070 before and I had quite a lot of issues with drivers now I have none!

Thanks for clarifying

Stop using NVIDIA on linux. They don’t respect our ecosystem so we should not be respecting them with our patronage.

“just buy a whole new gpu 4head” best takes only here

They’re quite cheap nowadays, amirite?

I mean, I thought “don’t support bad companies” is something most of us on Lemmy could agree with

Linux desktop works fine as long as you have 10 years experience, buy all new hardware, and dig deep on sketchy looking forums to download random drivers to work!

I’ve been pleased with my Arc performance.

He literally says he’s going to buy a new gpu soon. Learn to read.

I don’t have a choice, I do GPU rendering

I needed a GPU back in 2020, and attempted to go AMD. I found the opportunity to get a 3080 at msrp. I’m not going to shitcan my GPU and then spend another thousand for an absurdly overpriced AMD card. Many of us don’t have a good viable option to switch.

what does “they don’t respect our ecosystem” mean? nvidia devs put more manpower, more hours, and more lines of code into linux than amd ever has or ever will. the drivers are closed source, who cares, I’m not rms and you aren’t either. I challenge you to find anyone doing real work on real computers with an AMD card. not gaming, not home desktops, not all this hobbyist shit. I’m talking chips pegged at 400w for days or weeks at a time work. machine learning, scientific computing type work. they’re all running posix systems with nvidia cards in them.

if you want a seamless desktop experience on linux, go intel. if you want video games, go amd. if you want real work go nvidia. stop sucking your favorite evil megacorp’s dick and you’ll learn real quick that there’s a right tool for the job.

Just waste money on an AMD card so you can brag about how it’s 3% faster than Windows AMD cards!

Meanwhile Nvidia is 10-20% faster on slow dum dum winblows. Peak Linux zealotry.

Well that’s the problem I was getting 10-20% lower performance on Linux with an Nvidia GPU not to mention g-sync did not work and I was getting screen tearing and bad frame times with Nvidia. That’s why I chose to switch to AMD when I upgraded. Low and behold no such issues anymore.

And they work amazing, even better than in Windows

That’s good to know

I use Arch btw
