I for one suffer deeply when I try to install the nvidia drivers on Linux. The website binaries _always_ break my system
Only the ppas from graphics-drivers work properly
My experience on windows is much more automatic and it never breaks anything. But I'd rather pay the price (installing on Linux) to avoid windows at all costs
- riotnrrd 5y agoIf you installed the drivers using the PPAs, you can't then update using the NVIDIA-provided binaries without doing a very thorough purge, including deleting all dependent installs (CUDNN, CUBLAS, etc.) I highly recommend sticking with one technique or the other; never intermix them.
- kcb 5y agoYea it's not ideal but really no option is. Built in to Linux would be a problem too given the rate of GPU driver development. Most Linux installs in the corporate world are stuck on the major version of the kernel and system packages they shipped with.
