Yes, I’m an Nvidia user on Ubuntu (soon to switch to something else I think). The issue is the drivers on Wayland suck. Routine screen tearing with dual monitors (even if the second one is disabled in GNOME Settings). It also gives me issues with hardware acceleration for OBS captures. Had I been planning ahead I would’ve gone with AMD, but I got the 3070 for a great price during the shortages so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: to be clear, it’s fine and usable with one monitor, but still annoying. Switching to X11 gives me a whole different set of issues that just isn’t worth the tradeoffs. I still play games with no fuss with one monitor, it just sucks that I have framerate issues running OBS at 1080p30 capture with a 3070
And most importantly you have options. Once I had issues after updating the driver, but Mint makes it so easy to just go back.
I use Debian now, but that driver thing I am jealous of.
Nvidia drivers are the exact reason why I switched back to Windows a decade ago (from Fedora 20 or something, can’t remember). Granted it was another era. But back then, it simply didn’t work. I never tried again
Its just so simple. I see people complaining about getting Nvidia drivers to work on Linux, with Mint it takes like two clicks.
