It’s necessary for my very important hobby of generating anime nudes.

    Even not the “issue” that basically every time you update something, you have to wait a long time to download proprietary nvidia drivers?

    That’s what annoyed me the most back in the day with the Nvidia drivers,
    so many hours wasted on updating the drivers.

    With AMD, this is not the case.

    And haven’t even talked about my issues with Optimus (Intel on-board graphics + Nvidia GPU) yet, which was a true nightmare, took me weeks of research to finally make it work correctly.

      You don’t need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there’s a release. I don’t even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

      And hell, you’re using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

        It automatically happened,
        I believe with every install of an updated Flatpak, which is rather often.

        Been a while though, since lately I’ve been happily using AMD for quite some time.

        But I do recall Nvidia driver updates slowing down my update process by a lot,
        while I have none of that with AMD.

          Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.
