Good Video!
I also noticed that, when I still was on Windows. AMD is like a Cult. I myself own an AMD Card... but Guys let's be honest, AMD had great Price/Performance Cards for Gamers back then... they were usually cheaper, with more VRAM, but were lacking the Nvidia Features + much more power draw. It was a great option for your average gamer.

But look at the prices now... 4080 super vs 7900XTX.
I'd pay the 50 or 100 bucks for the Nvidia Card.

And Linux peeps combine the AMD Cult + The Linux cult (I'm sorry for all the non toxic peeps). Nvidia is greedy, but so is AMD.. they just want your money and stop downplaying Nvidia.. you are scaring away the possible newcomers, if they think they cant run Linux on Nvidia.

To sum it up. I'm happy with my AMD Card, it's stupid simple on Linux, because the drivers are open source and baked in Linux. Everything works well. BUT we have to agree, that Nvidia is miles ahead, especially when it comes to creative stuff... I mean just look at Nvidia shares right now.. It's bonkers.

You guys should be rooting for Intel GPUs tbfh...they might become what AMD was back then.

How's this still an Issue ? My dudes if it suits you use a toaster, as long as it works... Calling out people for hardware is the equivalent of 2 kids poking fun of the other who doesn't have a lollypop ...

I also have an NVIDIA GPU (RTX 4080) and these nvidia-specific issues people keep talking about are either easily fixable OR are just not present (anymore?)!

[HeroicMushroom]

I must agree those 555 drivers are a nice leap in the right direction for sure.

I have a lowly GTX-1660 and overall, I was able to make it work just fine. My main issue is the fan curve doesn't seem to work very well to keep it cool like it does under Windows when playing games. I'm sure proton is probably forcing the GPU to work harder than it does under Windows, but with applications like GWE (for XOrg) as well as a set of python scripts written for use under Wayland, I can pretty much keep my GPU as cool as it stays under Linux. But whenever I asked for help in any Discord servers for that various distro's I was using (such as Nobara, etc), when I stated I had an nVidia GPU, I was told to dump it as it was crap. No help what-so-ever. Now, I come from old-school Linux back in the 90's when you would ask for help in Usenet groups and all you would get is "RTFM buddy!". At least these days, it's not as much as it was back then. But you still have those people who don't want to help and instead blame it on you choosing the wrong hardware.

Didn't know Linux had same issue as Xbox or PlayStation. More people using Linux with more hardware means more support, more options, more hardware compatibility.
Imagine you moved to windows because Linux didn't support it. We won't have guides on yt that you created.

dude the new nvidia drivers made me switch to nobara, finally able to do gaming with a second monitor running a different refresh rate

As a fellow Fedora user....I appreciate your vids!

[pip]

OpenSUSE doesn't have 555 in the repos yet but I was able to manually install it just fine and I no longer have annoying flickers on my old 1050 ti under Wayland.

Hi Matt, I'm also using NVIDIA on both my PC and laptop, I'm an Arch user, atm I'm still running Plasma on Xorg. Last year I've tried Hyprland which runs exclusively on Wayland and found it pretty sweet, but the bugs that were still present back then kept me from daily driving that system. I've read that explicit sync is really close to being fixed on Wayland, is it working for you already? Also, from what you said on the video seems like the NVIDIA control panel is still useless, right? Is it still blank on Wayland?

[pauIaaaa]

I want to switch so bad, but do you know how I can fix the shitty font rendering on Linux? It looks awful... and why is my NVIDIA GPU temp 50C at idle on X11 and 39C in Wayland? thanks

「Family between companies holding back technological capabilities」I was not expecting to hear about that in this video.

Currently sitting with a 4090, and apart from some lingering issues with multimonitor g-sync. I couldn't be happier. I've looked at the AMD side of the fence a couple of times, and there's all sorts of weird issues relating to clock speed being stuck at 50% and a constant inability of setting wattage of the GPU on the 7000 series. Those are problems I do not have on nvidia, but they are problems that would piss me right the fuck off, if I did.

[packetauditor]

I am enjoying using Nvidia but my 3080 idles at 100w when all three of my displays are enabled. It's still around 35w idle even with one display.

[MatheusArruda-ylrw]

It's cool to hear new nvidia drivers working well with wayland, I'll have a try and go back to Fedora with my old GTX 970. Hope it works well because I really don't like windows UI and ads stuff (I didn't even wanted to quit windows 10 in favor of 11)

[megamodspc]

I have a gtx 1650 and the new drivers 555 + did nothing for me on wayland had to go back to x11 and is verry laggy

[Rikaisan]

When I tried to run linux when I had Nvidia, it was a pain, mainly because I really really wanted to run vanilla Arch, so I changed to AMD and never had graphical issues again, BUT I lost CUDA and that has really made me unable to continue some creative hobbies I had, I couldn't handle the extra rendering time and decided to stop doing those things...

Now, when I hear how many Nvidia people seem to run Linux with no issues...I get a sudden urge to go get an Nvidia GPU again.

Hey man, good video! Also, your desktop looks soo cool, specially that dock, looks amazing. You should do a rice video!
