    Did you use your package manager and dkms? You need to recompile the driver hook with each kernel update.

    I’ve had Nvidia cards since the Riva TNT2 and it’s been reasonably smooth sailing… 🤷‍♂️

        I suppose if you don’t know what you’re doing - that’s true. It’s not something unique to nvidia either - it’s true of any drivers outside the kernel source. But that’s what dkms is for - it automatically handles it for you when you update your kernel.

        If you don’t want to learn how the system you use works then you suffer the consequences. Or you just continue to blame nvidia for your own ignorance as I’m sure you will.

            No consequences here. I’m perfectly happy continuing on using AMD.

            Sure - and you’re limited to systems that use an AMD chip. Consequences. I’m sure you justify this to yourself though.

            Why do you think AMD always work out of the box and people constantly have problems with Nvidia? Is it because they’re “ignorant” or because it’s unnecessarily convoluted?

            I don’t think - I know. Because one is integrated with the kernel and built and distributed with it and the other is a separate module. This isn’t something unique to nvidia either - my system has modules from system76 as well as v4l2loopback that are also compiled separately.

            But since I install my packages using “apt” they are all managed by dkms and I don’t need to worry about it. Because I took a few minutes to learn about how my computer works.

                This is the literal definition of a consequence. 🤣

                My guy, I don’t even know what these words mean. And with AMD, I don’t have to become a software engineer. It just works.

                Fucking hell…

                    Consequence: “a result or effect of an action or condition.”

                    e.g “being stuck buying only amd kit”

                    Oh no, absolutely nothing else to add. I don’t want to confuse you with “software engineer speak”. Enjoy the self-imposed ignorance.
