From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A lot has changed since 1080…

I've tried a 3060 as well, which was a nightmare too. Although that was in a laptop so I'm not sure if that's a laptop-specific thing.

I doubt it though, since every other update would render it unbootable, and there was excessive flickering, both of which also happened with the 1080 Ti.

I do know that AMD "just works", though.

Nvidia needs to seriously improve before they're right for a typical Linux user.

Shit, Valve's new big picture mode was delayed for like a year because it was unusable on Nvidia hardware. Doesn't exactly sound bug-free to me mate.

😂I would love to travel to you to show that it works

Except, as I and others are telling you, it doesn't "just work".

A crying-laughing emoji is not a counter-argument.
