      I have never had problems with Nvidia drivers on Linux mint detects them and ask if you want to install the official drivers

        LMDE didn’t install the DKMS modules on my kid’s PC, so the nVidia drivers never loaded after a new kernel got installed. I do enough tech support at work so we chucked Pop!_OS on the PC (and set it up with btrfs and timeshift-autosnap) instead. No more problems.

        May not be a problem with mainline Mint, of course, but there are weirdos like me who prefer the Debian edition.

        Unfortunately it has weird issues with my bog standard Intel HP Omen laptop and a 2060 GPU.

        Basically any kind of sleep mode kills the GPU. I have go into Display settings and force a re-detect to wake it. Kind of a pain when you use the laptop connected to an external monitor with the lid closed.

      I’m starting to wonder if this is a meme or if people are actually having problems.

        Less about problems and more about performance/features in games. How much of a hassle is it to get dlss, ray tracing etc running? How’s the performance impact from not properly supported drivers.
