Me no use Mint, but the only problem I get is the sleep bug (waking from sleep results in a black screen). I’ve looked into it a few times and all I can assume is it’s probably nvidia so I gave up on solution hunting and pray one day it’s fixed (it’s getting slightly better over the years or maybe thats a placebo idk, it seems to fully break quite rarely now).
After my pc sleeps I usually have to switch sessions with ctrl+alt+<fn key> then back to the one running KDE and it (nvidia?) revives itself and I can keep working on watching my movies.
Just sharing my experience because mby someone smart here is thinking “yo yur dumb just do this”, but honest it’s not a big deal for me anymore.
Oh wait I wanna add that apart from this (tiny in my opinion) bug, everything esle has been smooth, even some gaming (it’s possible im in a rare state to be getting this bug since I haven’t reinstalled my root partition in like 5+ years, even tho I have swapped distros a couple times).
Just be forewarned:
Nvidia requires a bit of work.
SeLinux….it is a giant bag of gotcha.
That all said I’m not regretting my conversion.
I use Linux Mint and Nvidea and never had any problem what so ever with it. But maybe i just have been lucky.

It’s not, I have something very similar and I have a Radeon.
