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.

Genuinely confused by that statement... been using an NVIDIA for years, both closed (to play and work) and open drivers (to test only) and beside having the "wrong" version for CUDA and some graphical bug in specific situation, e.g ALT-Tab out of game or resuming from a game leading to some minor visual glitches, I've never encountered even a reboot. I also have relatively recent drivers but I don't even know which version I have (checked out of curiosity : Driver Version: 525.147.05 CUDA Version: 12.0).
So... I don't get it, what leads you and others to such situation? Are you reverse engineering the drivers? Are you overclocking? Are you changing some specific parameters that are not stable?
I'm asking because this is so different from my experience that I don't get it.
Interesting, why does this just work for me? Hardware really is strange.
Nvidia has caused me much suffering in both of my machines, only recently fixed hibernation killing the DE, latest driver version at the moment for many GPUs causes horrible stuttering in games
Most web games absolutely suck, think webgl isn't working
This is all on wayland though because I'm hopelessly addicted to hyprland
