When I updated later: same exact series of events went down except I was able to get it to install on the third try from GUI properly because I wanted to see how many tries it might take for the lulz

I think it's older cards and some sort of glitch in the proprietary driver manager shit most people use by default

It can't be that, I use NixOS. But yeah, GUI installers are buggy as shit for me too. And i don't use an old card.

Nvidia is just universally shit :(

I am using the latest proprietary driver on a gtx 1650 gpu and my distro cachyos preinstalls it

It's mostly people on older cards with those problems I guess

Me for example on my GTX 1080 can't use G-Sync (monitor blacks out in specific fps ranges). Nvidia "fixed" this like 5 times already. Newer cards work correctly I guess?

I also get graphical bugs in Wayland after Nvidias final Wayland "fix". Other people somehow do not experience this so I guess newer cards work correctly (again)

Imo Nvidia just didn't bother fixing this on their old cards so there is a minority left with those problems which can be ghosted safely by Nvidia because "those bugs got fixed"

It's not uncommon for Nvidia to ignore their normal users since the most money comes from other companies purchasing their GPUs anyway

I have an rtx 3060, i don't think that counts as old. I feel you, should have gone with AMD

Huh, that just makes everything weirder

Yeah, this is definitely my last Nvidia card
