The people who are yapping about this kind of stuff literally haven't even looked around or explored any of the options. Nvid drivers running flawlessly for years.

    I've tried 6 different distros on my pc with nvidia graphics and none of them worked the way they shoudl have.

    What distros have you actually tried? And what does "not working like they should have" actually mean?

    I tried Fedora, Debian, Bazzite, Nobara, CachyOS and some others I cannot recall. Not working ranged from jot being able to get through initial setup (fedora after install), not being able to install at all, unexplained graphical glitches everywhere and performance under any kind of load being worse than playing on a laptop.

    I've used nearly every one of those distros and I've never had problems. Based on what you're describing, it doesn't sound like problems that exist inside the driver. Best of luck to you.

    I've hobestly given up on linux for my desktop at least for a while. Mihht try it again in a year or so but rn it just does not seem destined to be.

    I've tried several times over the years. My laptop has been running fedora for 4 years now

    Sure bro, all the endless people having issues with those shitty drivers are at fault. Nvidia is making a whole new driver because they just love to do it, not because the old one is a huge mess.

    I'm doing my best helping family and friends with these things on various distros, but by now they all moved over to AMD or Intel or are in the process of it; even swapping out RTX 3000 series cards because the driver keeps fucking up and the Wayland support is a hot mess. Every single time the constant issues and glitches vanished once the Nvidia was thrown out. Nvidia on Linux is just hot garbage.

    I mean, if there are working drivers that don't have issues, and you're using those that do, it's not entirely your fault, but also it's your fault.

    There are graphical interfaces for it if you're afraid of letters on the screen. You're making it sound like it's some kind of impossible ordeal, but even in shit distros (looking at you, Ubuntu) it's just pressing checkboxes (or, OH HORROR, copy-pasting words in the terminal, I'm shaking even thinking about it right now).
    And yeah, it's nvidia's fault for making shit drivers, and distros' mainterner's fault for choosing shit drivers to be included, but since good versions of the drivers exist, you gotta take some responsibility for not using them.

    if there are working drivers that don't have issues

    There aren't. Some distros come with Nouveau alone, which is often awfully slow or lags behind in support for new cards. Some by now ship with nouveau + NVK, which is still unsuitable for demanding tasks and has bugs as NVK is still beta. And some ship with the proprietary Nvidia driver which is a hot mess. Changing something about this usually ends up in a mess due to how the Nvidia driver has to install itself into the system every time an update runs, and the fact you have to basically rip out a kernel module for it (nouveau).
