nvidia and linux just don't seem to work together. I've been on 13.10 and looking forward to an upgrade in the hope that it might fix the problem where compiz freezes up the window manager for minutes on end. Linux with nvidia is about as unreliable as using windows which is very frustrating.
Anyone know if 14.10 works better with nvidia cards?
- prg318 13y agoNVIDIA actually does a great job with their binary blob drivers and they are much more reliable than the AMD Catalyst drivers for Linux. It sounds like your problem lies with compiz/ubuntu. Maybe try a different window manager/distro?
- hnriot 13y agoI beg to differ, my experience with the nvidia drivers is quite different to yours. Whenever they upgrade them its a nightmare and generally results in the driver crashing the kernel. Letting a video driver bring down the kernel is inexcusable.
