Nvidia drivers.
- trey-jones 5y agoYeah, if you plan on playing games on (or running) Linux at all, you need to get an AMD card. Pretty much non-negotiable at the current time.
- CodeAndCuffs 5y agoSteam and protondb really helps mitigate this. My Nvidia card that could run games well on Windows ran them acceptably on Ubuntu on steam. No extra setup or work, steam did it all. I believe via vulkan drivers and proton but I'm not 100% sure. And this was a few years ago
- ASalazarMX 5y agoMaybe non-negotiable a few years ago. I've been playing just fine with a laptop and its builtin Intel GPU.
- deadbunny 5y agoI hear this constantly but have been using Nvidia cards (with proprietary drivers) for years on Linux with zero problems.
- Arkanosis 5y agoIf you want to ((use open-source drivers OR use wayland) AND play demanding games), that's true, AMD hardware is probably a better choice, but: - if you're fine with the proprietary Nvidia drivers and Xorg, Nvidia hardware works great; - if you play less demanding games, Intel hardware works great.
- tgmatt 5y ago3080 using nvidia's 510 drivers work just fine here.
- buzzwords 5y agoI wonder if rise of Linux gaming will force Nvidia to change its ways
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoAre you on a laptop? I game on desktop on Linux just fine with Nvidia drivers.

- ZekeSulastin 5y agoHave worked fine for a damn long time with the caveat of wayland, including the last time I ran desktop Linux with my old 2060.
