    It’s really ironic and embarassing. The most valuable chip manufacturer in the world, thanks to advances in AI and AI research, which is usually done using Linux systems. And yet Nvidia still sucks hard when it comes to Linux support.

      Nvidia graphics support.

      Their money is in headless systems, which TBF are much less problematic with Nvidia. Anything CUDA is first class on Linux with Windows as an afterthought.

        Not in my experience.

      Latest kernel, wayland, NVIDIA dGPU greater than RTX 900, latest proprietary NVIDIA driver and correct vulkan packages for said driver:

      Don’t see any issues, really

      What does not work?

      Maybe some install steam and choose wrong vulkan dependency 🤔

      Or have vulkan dependency for nouveau installed prior to switching to nvidia drivers

      I just wonder why pacman not automatically chooses the correct dependency 😅 but I am sure there is a reason

      I wouldn’t call their Windows support stellar, either. There’s only one error code for any and all problems and RTXes can be damn finicky if you’re unlucky.
