Around a year ago I couldn't update my Nvidia driver for like 6 months or my PC wouldn't boot... I'm willing to guarantee this isn't the first vibe coded driver.
VR has been broken for at least this long, you can't use vrr with 144hz, the list goes on at least with linux. Been hoping AMD matches them for hardware next gen (and gets hdr on linux)
AMD has HDR on Linux, just use Display Port. It is not AMDs fault that the Hdmi group bans proper Hdmi support in open source drivers.
Yeah they had tons of driver issues early last year, pretty sure they were vibe coding drivers at least that far back
When the v580 drivers dropped last year I had a similar experience. Think I also pushed updates for 4 months or so.
I went from 535 to latest (590?) last week and it isn't great. What's the sweet spot, 570?
I'm on 580 right now. It got usable after a few months. If 590 is out, I have to say I'm really hesitant to bump up to that. Might just hold off on updates for a while.
Thankfully I have snapper on all my systems so rollbacks are easy.
How does snapper compare to timeshift? Ease of use. Been using ts since I got back into linux and have used it quite a few times already
I don't really know the difference, I've only ever used Snapper. It comes preconfigured on SuSE Tumbleweed, and I've set it up manually on those machines I have that don't run Tumbleweed.
I like Snapper because once set up it basically just does its thing on its own, and it's super easy to use. I can access the snapshots from the boot menu so if something goes awry I can just boot into a previous system configuration.
If you already use Timeshift and you're happy with it I don't really see why you'd switch.
I just get curious when I see an app I didn't know about that is similar to one I use. Other than access from the boot menu it sounds just like ts. I may check it out on one of my test laptops to see how different it is
thanks
