Even tho my pc can run windoes 11, still running linux on it.

[-] peetabix@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Me too. Bought a HP laptop made sure it was AMD. It came with win11, wiped it and installed Linux as soon as I got home.

My PC has an NVIDIA card, will that be a problem?

[-] radfordhound@programming.dev 1 points 8 minutes ago

I also have a NVIDIA card, and I use Linux with Wayland. It's usable for sure! But people are honestly downplaying the issues a lot.

I've had a lot of bugs and issues that are pretty annoying, such as apps flickering, performance sometimes (rarely) falling off a cliff for seemingly no reason, the card underclocking itself sometimes when waking from sleep (which kills performance until you reboot), and worst of all, random kernel panics that force me to hit the reset button, losing any unsaved work and risking a filesystem corruption (because there's no safe way to shutdown since everything is completely and utterly locked up).

I've reported these bugs, and most of them have actually been fixed in the latest driver versions! But the kernel panics still happen once in a while, and that's not great.

So be warned! But don't be scared off. All of these issues are infrequent. Most of the time, it works without issue, and games actually run really great!

Its not a big problem like it is made out to be. There are some distros that don't ship nVidia drivers (and so you have to find the repo in your distro that does come contain it. I.e. Debian has an repo for it that isn't readily advertised) so some people have had a hard time. Some distros are just a checkbox this add nVidia. Some like SUSE/OpenSUSE have a repo that nVidia specifically hosts and maintains. So results vary, but I can say I have not had issues with nVidia

Ty for clarifying. The one I'm interested in RN is Mint. From what I've heard and the information you've provided I suspect it won't be an issue.

Nah, I have never major found problems with nvidia on linux especially wayland.

It can be A Problem, but AS far AS i heard it usually isnt that much of a problem.
