I’m afraid to look at Debian, Fedora, etc. to see if the “Nvidia Problem o’ The Day” is as widespread an “issue” as it is in Archlandia. 'Cause then I’d have to laugh, and gloat, fall all over myself, and generally not be an otherwise ‘good’ person.
BTW, the new template looks great. Now @SGS has every right to bandersnatch offenders.
It’s a fact that NVIDIA is a pain , it is working smoothly with garuda but when I was using debian based distros then many times I have to do a manual installation , it wasn’t a rocket science, you have to just follow the instructions but why isn’t it working when I choosed nvidia preprietry during installation ?
What the has Debian got to do with it go complain to them,Don’t air your old dirty washing on this forum. To answer your complaint no it was never a pain on Debian just a matter of using one of the many update scripts on the internet. Simple as that.
My system crashed yesterday. I have nvidia as a discrete graphics card and intel as integrated. The crash was so bad that even the journal prior to force rebooting (since all I had in front of me was a blinking @ symbol so I had to force reboot) was corrupted as per systemd and post reboot the journal logs and dmesg were filled with hundreds of nvidia errors. Literally pages upon pages of red errors. This when I don’t even use nvidia as my primary graphics card. So… yeah nvidia is problematic.
I don’t know if I said my wife and I celebrated our 29th Wedding Anniversary, 30 years of being together Dec. 16th, two days ago? Yeah, more about that.
I asked,"Hey, honey, does that mean I’m gonna get ‘lucky’ tonight? She said,“You mean that I don’t kill you?”
Optimism is overrated, I’ve always been a glass is half full of urine type of guy myself. Most people can never appreciate my sense of humour as it’s quite pitch dark.
