Nvidia is already rearing its ugly head and AMD is actually putting up a fight this year. If you use Linux or care about the implications of a GPU monopoly, consider AMD. This is just another example of the implications of an unsafe older kernel causing issue for users: This issue is only going to get more and more prevalent as the kernel is a core dependency by definition. The users are now FORCED with this “choice”: Many distributions of Linux are now dropping the old kernels. However today this is no longer possible. At first users could work around this by using an older DKMS driver along with a LTS kernel. This issue is still happening 5+ months later with no end in sight. This bug causes hard irrecoverable crashes from driver 440+. The topic in question today is this bug: The Nvidia Linux drivers have never been good but whatever has been happening at Nvidia for the past decade has to stop today. sudo add-apt-repository contrib Now add the non-free repository. This can be quickly done using the following commands. If anyone has used Sway-WM with an Nvidia GPU I’m sure they would remember the –my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia option. 1st Method: Install NVIDIA Drivers: Debian Repository Installation Pre setup The first task is enabling the contrib and non-free repositories to your Debian repositories.
This is not just one off shoot case oh how much I wish it was. The infamous Torvalds videos still traverse the web today as Nvidia conjures up another evil plan to suck up more of your money and market share. This hatred is not only shared by reviewers, but also developers and especially Linux users. The recent fiasco with Nvidia trying to block Hardware Unboxed from future GPU review samples for the content of their review is one example of how they choose to play this game.
