Which side are you on? ๐Ÿค”

#linux

@itsfoss

Currently both. I have a laptop with AMD CPU, integrated AMD GPU and dedicated NVIDIA GPU...

@itsfoss nvidia is not that bas recently :D
@nictakiego
it is bad. and neither AMD is good.
@nictakiego @itsfoss Crashed my desktop this weekend, dunno if something else happens when the update was ongoing, but each crash is related to NVIDA driver. Coincidence, I doubt ๐Ÿ˜ž
@mikeTesteLinuxQlub @itsfoss @blue_on ig you just do something wrong, or just got too recent GPU. Mine 1660S is doing perfectly fine.
@nictakiego @itsfoss @blue_on Proprietary driver is kinda trouble(first major trouble), depend if you use secure boot or not, also I suspect that maybe the driver was incompatible with the kernel version the distro was applying, first time I got so much trouble trough, so I'll be more careful next time. Btw, mine is 1080, so same generation than yours. Was a lot more of trouble with Mint, so I suspect experience vary greatly with the distro.
@itsfoss Do you want your drivers inclued by default in most distributions and in kernel updates?
Or do you want to suffer using FOSS Nvidia drivers, or installing proprietary ones?
The choice is fairly easy for me. Actually bought mine from this factor having Nvidia cards before.
@itsfoss Well, I don't want to say it now... :(
@itsfoss I have Intel integrated graphics 
@itsfoss Not really ture. Try pre-GCN cards and you will miss nvidia hard XD
@itsfoss yep, definitely Linux users side.
@itsfoss pretending as if the AMD drivers work for anything other then gaming stuff is also bullshit.
when working with blender i experience so many crashes and glitches...
@itsfoss #AMD Is the way, because "this Is the way"
@itsfoss They're both broken, I want an ARM Linux desktop ๐Ÿ’€ (Not from Apple, they're too expensive for me)

@itsfoss /me looks at my rog strix amd/nvidia hybrid

sigh...both.

@itsfoss AMD to fight obsolescence of nvidia drivers.
@itsfoss generally AMD end up doing better ones
@itsfoss On desktop computers, I've used Nvidia GPU's since the Riva TNT 2 days. I've strayed onto the ATI/AMD camp only once; while the hardware was very good, Linux drivers were horrible cr*p (that was the "Catalyst" era).
@itsfoss to put it bluntly, the losing side ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@itsfoss #nvidia works for me, but in my next life i'll switch to amd. I swear!

@itsfoss just switched to the bright side.

On benvhmarking the Nvidia has about 10% less FPS in Linux as on Windows. And the AMD has about 10% more FPS on Linux.

@itsfoss Nvidia and it already caused multiple problems... Would have gone with AMD if I didn't need to use DaVinci Resolve which supports basically no codecs on AMD / Linux :(
@itsfoss - I changed out an older Nvidia GTX 1060 gpu for a Radeon RX 7600 XT on my casual gaming machine running Ubuntu 24.04, and everything is working much smoother with it. Steam with Proton and Heroic Games Launcher for the Epic stuff is working just as well as when I was using Windows 10 on a dual boot on this same machine for gaming.
@itsfoss Both. And both are equally good/bad but in different areas.
@itsfoss Nvidia works for me tbh
@itsfoss There is really only one option if you're not a masochist.
