Things have improved a lot.
- LoganDark 3y ago...you have to recompile the binary in order to incorporate changes you have made to the source code. As for the last time I used Linux, it was just earlier this year when I tried Fedora Silverblue. The Nvidia driver just Broke when I swapped motherboards, and since the system is immutable, I couldn't even attempt to debug or fix the problem. Of course, immutable distributions are the only ones that have that specific problem, but I haven't found a distro yet that doesn't have some problem. I will admit, though, that GNOME Wayland is a better DM than Windows, for sure. And its trackpad support is comparable to macOS. (As in it has plenty of convenient gestures, supports right-click-drag, which Windows does not, and even supports middle-click-drag, which neither Windows nor macOS do.)
- scrps 3y agoLinux and nvidia have had a strained relationship, nvidia did announce they are finally open sourcing the driver mid-2022 (partially iirc?) so your experience may be better now since nvidia is kinda playing nice but I haven't check the progress on it.

- LoganDark 3y agoHonestly, if that's what it takes, I'm all for it. Cheers to a future of being able to use the most powerful piece of hardware in a PC without having to redistribute proprietary blobs with the OS.
