    I was broken long before nVidia drivers and Wayland.

    I was crushed long ago while trying to compile the driver for a Sound Blaster Gold sound card for Fedora 6 and Mandrake 6. Two weeks and 20 pages of printed out instructions. Two weeks of hell in kernels. It should have worked. The terminal showed no errors and nor did the logs. But no sound came forth. I had to buy a boxed set for Mandrke 7 to get sound.

    So here I sit with a fresh install of Fedora 40 on my trusty old Nitro 5 wondering if I should install the nVidia drivers and I hear the silent foot steps of that Sound Blaster........

    But hey, at least my printer works.

    pacman -S nvidia and I've never had any issues. I know that it's not that easy in some other distros, but maybe stop using shitty distros.

    This is the most Arch Linux comment I've read in a while. This is easy in most mainstream distros now, but there are exceptions like NixOS or Gentoo, which aren't shitty but are just harder for specific reasons.

    On a related note, when did Joaquin Phoenix turn into a younger Jeremy Irons?

    It ain't like it used to be. Just upgraded my machine to an Nvidia for the first time in like 10+ years.

    sudo apt install nvidia

    After a reboot it was smooth as hell. I remember the dark ages. I remember fucking with X.org settings. 😐

    The recent developments for Nvidia drivers on Linux have been wild. Never thought it would happen

    How are you bodily depressed?

    That is why this meme is so funny to me. It is worded in an intentionally stupid manner this adds a level of irony to it. 😂

    Wow, there is so much good info on how the buddy holds mental distress. You've never heard of that?
