fraggLe!@rodolforg @nixCraft IDK, to be honest the three times I've had to install Arch on a machine with Nvidia it's "just worked" every+ time. At least it's not been any worse than the rest of the "choose your own adventure" of wiki pages that is installing Arch at the best of times? 
+ The very first time I did it, I got a black screen on X, but that was because I just grabbed a GT710 which was unsupported - swapped it out for a 1050Ti and it lit right up.
BlueWinds@fwaggle @rodolforg @nixCraft Indeed; I was always fiddling with drivers on Debian-based distros, but with Manjaro (arch-based) everything just worked straight out of the box.
I was deeply impressed. I've *never* had that happen with a fresh linux install on a laptop before.
Bitan Nath@bluewinds @fwaggle @rodolforg @nixCraft But have you ever tried compiling chromium with hardware acceleration in angle and not vulkan

Gentleman Programmer@nixCraft I think I did that once, years ago. Since Debian 13 my desktop crashes from time to time.
Ray McCarthy@nixCraft
I started with current and worked backwards...
Then next PC I avoided Nvidia as I don't really play games now.
raspberry@nixCraft can you fix the quote on your post https://techhub.social/@bobkmertz/116784069129108455

Cassandrich@nixCraft If you're a Linux expert you don't have nvidia hardware. 😎

aceryz@nixCraft I got peer-pressured to set up NixOS on a T480 with Nvidia GPU... and the crazy thing is, *it just works* (after following just two or three instruction pages)! And with nix, I know I won't need to figure it out again. Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully.
Scotty Trees@aceryz you got peer pressured? Like what does that even mean?!
@scottytrees Many good people in my hackerspace use NixOS. And when you see that all the cool kids do it...
@aceryz so you weren't peer pressured, you just wanted to fit in and belong and be like everyone in the group. that's not peer pressure , that's just conforming to a group think bruh.
@scottytrees "Akshually" is strong with this one...
Have a good day, "bruh".
@aceryz I got peer pressured to tell you to have a good day also, "bruh" 🤣️
Diana Probst, Cambridge Artist@nixCraft *stares in flashback*
@nixCraft That hits me where I live.
Seth Galitzer@nixCraft You gotta get a fresh kernel from backports (or something)
Rickyx@nixCraft Over the last few years, I’ve never had any problems apart from the drivers themselves: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

@nixCraft Every time I upgrade the kernel and reboot I prepare for my Nvidia card to go missing.
Michael Vilain@nixCraft At least that distro won't ask you how old you are when you install it.

Gnome Tsunami@nixCraft as soon as i get it working, i always apt hold the packages and only update when i know i can suffer a few hours of downtime.
Sascha Pallenberg 🇹🇼 ♻️ ⚡@nixCraft would you mind to correct your fake Bezos quote?
SenseT8N@nixCraft of all the methods I've tried over the years, this is what works best for me:
install the official cuda toolkit repo via the network (deb) installer, and then install the drivers only.
