The nvidia 545 drivers are an absolute dumpster fire. Even for beta drivers they are easily the worst drivers I've ever used. They claim to fix the vrr gsync bug tho... so as soon as they fix gestures broadly everything else, maybe they'll be good
Definitely. I use Timeshift on Linux Mint Debian Edition and set it to take weekly snapshots. Saved my bacon about 2 weeks ago when a kernel update borked my system.
I'm on 545 and I have no issues. But I'm also not using Ubuntu...
Maybe it's the distro that's the problem not the backup. I mean I'd rather have a distro with smooth updates than one that makes me need snapshots.
What's even the point with such a distro, ok so I restore previous working state, then what, I can't do updates anymore? Living in fear of official updates sounds terrible.
nvidia drivers have often done weird shit to my system. so, I would probably also lean towards amd in the future.
Yeah that's why I use Nvidia, because AMD drivers are super stable.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
