I like how "GPU working" as a checkbox metric ties it all together.

Hah. I just saw this on the back of some other guy berating me for complaining that Steam exploded when trying to get it to acknowledge Steam libraries on NTFS drives. I'll stop complaining the moment my stuff works.
But hey, I hear my HDR monitors are supposed to have stopped artifacting out on the latest Nvidia drivers I installed last week, so if I ever get Steam to work again maybe I can give that another try and see if I can scratch that one from my routine.
Meh, never mind me. I'm just cranky from all the troubleshooting. I really thought I had this down semi-permanently a couple weeks ago.

And it still doesn't work with my NVIDIA GPU causing my monitors to freeze and stop working.

I wish I could use linux, most (not all) of the apps I use regularly are better on a linux distro. I self host a lot of services on linux machines, and god I would love to rid myself of Microsoft. But my main computer OS? still stuck with Windows.
I just (a few years ago) upgraded my graphics card and at that time NVidia had a better deal then AMD.... I'm not sst to upgrade for at least 5 years still. Every distro I've tested have weird problems that cannot be solved by a few lines of code, all seem to point to Nvidia, but it's hard to say without testing without.
My main computer is working as is with Windows, until there is a linux distro that just works with nvidia, I'll stick to it and the many tools I have to keep my things as private from Microsoft as I can. One of the many problems I've had is the task bar/desktop/windows hang/freezes, have to go in the terminal to reboot or force a shutdown. If I have to reboot everytime I want to use the computer and reset all my apps, when the only times it happens now is when windows forces it : not for me thanks.
