A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sorry if I'm not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

I ran my 1060 just fine for a few year. Nvidia has an official, but proprietary driver that might not run well on some distro's. Personally I haven't had any issues, though it would be better to stick with xorg and not wayland. Wayland support on nvidia I've heard isn't great, but it does work

This. You're mostly at the mercy of their proprietary drivers. There's issues, like lagging Wayland support as mentioned. They will generally work though, I don't want to dissuade you from trying out Linux.

There is an open source driver too, but it doesn't perform well.
