I gave up trying to my external monitor to work without completely lagging my computer because of the NVIDIA drivers. Took me an hour of fucking around to get it working, then as soon as I make it split screen or use the external only my os framerate drops to a choppy look.

Honestly the only time I’ve had issues with my Nvidia card on Endeavour have been when I tried Wayland

Still going full AMD for my next PC upgrade.

I do want to switch to Wayland when I can.

Only reasons I went Nvidia is because I built this PC before I had any intention of running Linux and I had always had Nvidia cards before then.

From someone that was in the same pipeline and made the move, you won’t regret it. I know it’s early days for Wayland, but my experience on AMD and Intel has been very positive.

I’m just annoyed with my multiple monitors on X11 one of them supports 144hz but since the others are 60hz x11 forces 60hz on all monitors.

I have a 170hz for my main monitor and 60hz for my 2nd and it works, Just had to make sure my 170hz monitor was set to be my primary in the KDE display settings.

I think visually it might say the selected hz in my case 144. But I can tell that in practice it is not at 144. If I disable the other monitors only then does it actually go to 144. I’m not sure if I have a config issue, but I thought this was expected behavior from X11.

X11 does support multiple refresh rates. It’s just that usually the compositor or window manager vsyncs every display, thus making everything refresh at the lowest refresh rate. Are you using KDE? If yes, place these variables in /etc/environment and reboot:

KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=144000
KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1

If you have a system with nVidia and you want to run Linux, just use Pop!_OS and call it a day.

Still using the same garbage nVidia drivers in PopOS as you would with any other distro.

Yes, 100% agree. All I meant is that at least you don’t have to fight the install.

They run them through QA at least and work directly with Nvidia to fix any issues they notice. They dont catch everything of course but its still good.

Funny enough, popos ships with version 475, which is ancient. You still want to upgrade to 525 if you want Vulkan 1.3 support; I.e for bottles gaming, which needs Vulkan 1.3

It updates to the latest immediately. I shut down my laptop (the one with nVidia) but I’m fairly certain the driver was 530+. I know it was 527 not so long ago. All you have to do is your regularly scheduled “sudo apt upgrade”.

How is it for dualbooting with Win11?
Currently on OpenSuse Leap(on a separate hdd) because many linux recommendation articles suggested that it had the best out of box support for Nvidia n secure boot.
But debian/ubuntu-based systems do have the advantage of being popular. More tutorials n packages readily available.

I think I’ve read that Ubuntu also supports nvidia drivers, but I had read that snap is polarising, with some people saying that it slows down the startup.

I don’t dual boot so I cannot answer that question.

Pop!_OS is currently based on Ubuntu so most tutorials will apply.

Pop!_OS has a separate Nvidia iso with all the drivers baked in from the initial install.

Snap is supported but not the default. Installs are mainly done via deb and flatpak.

Replaced my 1080Ti with a 6700 XT when it was on sale. Couldn’t be happier. All of my wake from suspend issues disappeared.

Also confirming the 6700 XT is a great card, replaced my 2080 with it - its been nice not dealing with Nvidia’s weird issues.
