Suspend/resume is broken for my friend with an AMD card right now. That's what I mean: it's broken everywhere in slightly different ways, yes even on Windows. Thankfully I never use it anyway.

Dunno anything about dozens of packages, I installed 1 (one) package from my distro and haven't touched it since, no issues with updates either. That same friend with an AMD card keeps getting random hard PC freezes during gaming though.

Also absolutely zero issues with lags/latency for me (on GNOME. I did experience a bunch of weird bugs with KDE, but again - no lags)

One thing that is very real is DirectX 12 performance. This one really does suffer due to poor nvidia drivers. Hope they iron it out at some point



Suspend/Resume simply nvidia bug: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/cant-resume-from-suspe...

Dozen of packages, official packages, you need bunch of, like, 590.44.01-1 packages installed: https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/deb...

Lags: sorry, I have no more nvidia and can't record video.

(edit: formatting)


And there are simply AMD bugs in the same vein, yes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/?sort=create.... Again, I'm not saying it's not broken on NVIDIA, I'm saying it's just broken, period.

Which is unfortunately not a good thing when it comes to NVIDIA. "Modern" distros package those for you, which is why I install linux-cachyos-nvidia-open [0] now and previously nvidia-driver-${version} [1] when I was using Pop! OS, both of which worked without a single issue for me from the word "go". My point is: it's not all doom and gloom, there's life to be had and it's not that worse than AMD cards.

It isn't on Lenovo ThinkCentres like M910q tiny. Which has integrated Intel HD630 graphics. Works every single time.
