I want to make the move to Mint at the end of Win10 in a week or so, but I’ve heard some horror stories about how tough it can be to get Nvidia GPUs working with them. As it is I have a 4060TI and no money for an AMD GPU. If I can’t get my GPU working with Linux I’m probably gonna end up having to stick with Windows untim I can afford an AMD GPU, the thought of which doesn’t exactly excite me.

    It will work. Under Linux mint for example you can use the firmware installer to install the correct Nvidia driver.

    Too bad nvidia drivers are proprietary, so it’s not part the default kernel drivers. That is why I like AMD so much more, it has open sourcer drivers. Fk nvidia 😁

      Then playing games you will of course need wine or Proton in case of windows games.

      For native Linux games it’s the best thing. Ideally have a game that supports vulkan for the best performance. Or opengl.
