Haven't personally had issues with WiFi drivers since 2010 on any of my many Linux computers, graphics cards as long as you avoid NVIDIA work flawlessly, even with NVIDIA as long as you don't need their closed source driver. Pulse Audio though an abomination I hate with the burning heat of a thousands suns.
- tombert 2y agoSince I started using Pipewire, audio has mostly been "just fine" for me. I actually have gotten Nvidia cards working with the closed driver on NixOS, but it took an entire weekend of whack-a-mole. It works mostly fine now, but man it was a huge pain in the ass. I should have bought an AMD card, but when I bought the Nvidia card it was specifically for Stable Diffusion and most of the documentation I could find at the time for that wanted CUDA. Not trying to self-promote too much, but I wrote a blog post explaining how to get it working if anyone needs help: https://blog.tombert.com/posts/2025-03-09-egpu/ https://blog.tombert.com/posts/2025-03-09-egpu/ (There are no ads or anything, I don't make any money from this, FWIW).
- smegger001 2y agoLast time I had NVIDIA on my daily driver the proprietary driver would work fine until the next kernel update then would boot blackscreen. The only way to fix it was to boot into single user mode purge the driver all of its configuration file, and the NVIDIA configuration utility install the open source driver reboot then reinstall the proprietary driver then it would work fine until the next time either the driver or the kernel updated at which point I would have to do it all over again.
