Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

I'm not calling anyone jerk. I just don't like that every discussion involves 'nvidia bad' on here. That, to me, is a circlejerk. And repeatedly summing up the situation as 'nvidia is so bad, don't use it' puts people off from making the jump and consequently doesn't help the growth of linux in general, which doesn't help you, me or anyone else.

If I had feared about nvidia drivers, I wouldn't have been using Linux for 4 years straight now. Mint supported my 1060 and 2060 before now, PopOS was fantastic aside from a quirk with waking the screens with the 2060, and honestly those issues have worsened with AMD now. Admittedly I haven't tried much to remedy it as it's as simple as turning off my monitors.

But if you never try, you can never know 🤷‍♂️
