    Should work out of the box, if you want a better experience I would definitely recommend an AMD gpu. Nvidia drivers are a huge mess on Linux since Nvidia actively refuses to support Linux

      What? You just have to install the proprietary drivers, they work perfectly fine. I get that if you don’t want any proprietary stuff NDIVIA is not the best experience (opensource drivers are not good because of lack of support) but I’d hardly call that a huge mess.

        If you want to use Wayland without having to tweak lots of things or use weird hacks then Nvidia isn’t an option.

        Also in my experience the open source drivers nowadays have better performance and support than the proprietary Nvidia drivers

          Not the open source nvidia drivers. They don’t support reclocking so there’s no way to get any useable results for gaming (and if not for gaming, why use an nvidia gpu anyway? Compute isn’t supported in nouveau anyway).

      They’re an extra thing you have to install, which makes them less plug and play than AMD, but a huge mess? It’s far from being that bad nowadays

        Not an extra thing that you have to install, an extra thing that you have to maintain, forever, instead of just letting the OS do it for you. Have you never borked your main machine with a flubbed driver update? Or found that, uh oh, you broke CUDA last time you upgraded and didn’t notice until you tried to do some work?

          No, I didn’t. I installed the driver once, same with cuda, and I let the system updates to the rest.

          And guess what, it actually does just work™
