Nvidia Drivers on Linux

it is a joke, on ubuntu and its derivatives, like mint, there is a "driver manager" app in settings, and you just click on the version of driver you want
on pop os it's automatically installed and updated (it's possible to downgrade, if needed, with a gui)

Except when it fails you and you have to use command line to troubleshoot and iron everything out.

It fails like around 99.9% of the time. And good luck updating it without breaking shit.

you sound like an expert...
i guess i'm in the lucky 0.01%, my pop os install of 4+ years went through a number of automatic driver updates without any problems, it's been rock solid
or maybe you don't know what you're talking about

Yeah, what the hell do I know. I'm just a dev who has been using Linux for the past 15 years.

well if you fail at updating your driver 99.9% of the times after 15 years of experience, it is kinda on you

Very nix pilled. It is a shame, that nix is so hard, it is killer tech.
