Nvidia works fine on Linux. I have an nvidia card at home, and I support a bunch of them at work. It's easy. https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/driver-installation-guide/latest/index.html

Use the network installation to add the deb or rpm repo, then choose whether you want the open or proprietary drivers. Install the package and that's it, your package manager will handle the dependencies.

You may need to create and enroll a dkms key if you have secureboot enabled and you haven't done that already, but that's the only wrinkle.

How do you stop them from randomly uninstalling themselves? A bunch of guys use Ubuntu at work and the Nvidia drivers would randomly nuke themselves occasionally when the device is turned off and they'd have to force CLI mode and do a reinstall.

I've never seen that happen. But the transaction that caused it should be in the package manager log.

Thanks, I'll check those logs out the next time it happens.

I was going to say. That's never happened to me in Debian, Fedora, PopOS, Linux Mint, EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Nobara or Bazzite. Is this a Ubuntu only issue?

[–] pycorax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

For what it's worth, we're using a mix of Ubuntu 20 LTS and 22 LTS.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

We use Ubuntu at work and I've never seen it. At home I use Debian and I've also never seen it there on my desktop, laptop, or server.
