It's supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Worked great in VM with Nvidia A4000. Zero problems, just a learning curve to use rpm-ostree and brew instead of dnf. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zewm@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children) You should not be using rpm-os tree as a replacement for DNF. Their docs have a software installation section that specifically state it should be avoided. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 point 11 months ago Yeah, you should be using flatpak wherever possible. I currently have only gnome-tweaks and zsh as layered packages. Everything else is a flatpak, brew or lives in a distrobox. permalink fedilink source parent [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago Thanks for the advice but unfortunately I don’t read documentation. permalink fedilink source parent

The open driver from Nvidia just means the kernel module has an open source license.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago 20XX onwards in desktop version is fine. I've only heard issues when using gaming mode on the HTPC version, and even then i think it's just inside the gamescope steam menu it's shit, in games it's just fine, no difference. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago* Works fine, but there are a few issues with game mode specifically. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago They make dedicated Nvidia images and I've heard good things. It's supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago (1 child) Worked great in VM with Nvidia A4000.
