That the point Nvidia drivers are not grate on Linux I got AMD card specifically for this reason! Had an GTX 1070 before and I had quite a lot of issues with drivers now I have none!
Linux desktop works fine as long as you have 10 years experience, buy all new hardware, and dig deep on sketchy looking forums to download random drivers to work!
Welp, that was a plot twist. But, I use a Ryzen 3600 with a GTX 1660, nvidia-open driver on arch, wayland tested with gnome, kde and hyprland, had 0 issues as far as I can tell.
Ok 1 issue, but afaik this is wayland not wayland + nvidia - couldn’t get stanley parable to work.
I refunded it already, none of the proton versions launched at all for some reason, the native version I got to launch but it was frozen. From what I found googling it was a wayland problem, but I was on hyprland at the time and I was not going to go through the hassle of getting an X session just to get a game running, so I just refunded it citing problems starting the game on linux.
I did not go through detailed troubleshooting, I am over trying to finnick and fiddle to get games to run, if your stuff does not work OOTB or reasonably close to it, you are not getting my money. Most games do, I will rather leave my cash and my time playing something that works than troubleshooting and getting something that doesnt to do so. That goes double for something that is supposed to run native on Linux.
Been using it for half an year now, either the issues are insignificant or I do not observ them cause it’s not bothering me!
What’s your hardware and distro ? I have an Nvidia card and am considering a switch next year
Hardware Ryzen 7 5800x with RX 6800xt 32gb ram as for distro Arch Wayland KDE.
But that’s an AMD card

Thanks for clarifying
Stop using NVIDIA on linux. They don’t respect our ecosystem so we should not be respecting them with our patronage.
“just buy a whole new gpu 4head” best takes only here
They’re quite cheap nowadays, amirite?

I’ve been pleased with my Arc performance.
Just waste money on an AMD card so you can brag about how it’s 3% faster than Windows AMD cards!
Meanwhile Nvidia is 10-20% faster on slow dum dum winblows. Peak Linux zealotry.
I don’t have a choice, I do GPU rendering
And they work amazing, even better than in Windows
That’s good to know

Ok ! so you have a choice between two drivers with Nvidia ? do both support optix ?
I have not looked into Optix, couldn’t tell you.
Do you have it on Steam? It should work if you use the Windows version on proton instead of the native Linux version.
