Back when the 2070 came out I built a machine with that RTX 2070, i7-9700k, some new ram, some new harddrives and ssd(s), m.2 and not, etc. and I have not had any issues with Archlinux.
Same experience when I bought my thinkpad L14 AMD, no issues either.
Im convinced at this point that the entire "linux is bad on new hardware" is a thing of the past.
- tcmart14 5y agoThe thing here is, it never technically was. The issue in the past was vendors either writing the drivers like they do windows, but for linux, or producing technical documentation so someone could. Instead, there were lots of times years and years ago, where a lot of drivers had to be reverse engineered. So the hardware on linux being bad, was mostly and issue that at one time, no one cared to write drivers or provide the necessary information.
- antiterra 5y agoIf the drivers aren’t there then Linux is bad on that hardware for anyone attempting to use it. It doesn’t matter to the end user that the lack of drivers is the manufacturer’s fault.
