I have an Nvidia card and run plasma and everything “just worked” for me including the proprietary drivers. Zero configuration (I am using CachyOS but Manjaro was fine as well as mint).
Figured I would add another data point for those thinking about switching but are nervous about the Nvidia support.
Yeah, thats about why i wrote about my expeariance. There are enoth people who do have problems with Nividea, so it might help to know it’s not going to be a problem for everyone.
not everyone have the same needs. Not everyone is using desktop the same way you do. These factors are very important to know going in. Not just : it doesn’t work. Or that it does.
This doesn’t reach deep enough to speak to people personally. It only speaks on your experience if you haven’t pushed a machine like someone else might. Some of us are speaking in core when we buy our case. These Details are important. And I want to know my fights with nvidia going in.
This is what sickens me with fanbois. They don’t give a shit and miss these very important points with users and talk about their limited basic experience as the only experience with Linux. They might have what, 2 sessions at most.
And not acknowledging that does absolutely leave people out in the cold cuz it’s not your machine you have to look after. it’s not your software(and not all of it is free: that is another myth). It’s not your development to work on. It’s their’s.
If you’re trying to be there to help: Help them. Be there for them. Not just yourself. Anything less is just being an elitist prick. And we got too many of those making up the Linux community. It needs to stop.
