fugepeProton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes
How is the current Nvidia driver situation on Linux? I wanted to give it a shot on my gaming PC for a long time now but was deterred by the various driver horror stories…
people always complain about nvidia drivers on linux, but personally my experience has never required anything more than
sudo apt install nvidia-driver
It works fine on a desktop with a single GPU mostly. Though I have had issues with multi monitor setup at work with xfce and xorg. I actually had a better experience with gnome and wayland, in terms of multi monitor support.
That said, all my own non work computers I use AMD/intel these days though. It just works now. I did have a bad experience years ago with an nvidia optimus laptop, where I couldn’t use the displayport without permanently enabling the nvidia GPU, killing battery life.
