Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.
... Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it's not the easiest of rides.
(I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)
As far as I know, the open-source driver supports CUDA now, as long as you're using version 560 or above and the latest CUDA packages. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/
We've been using the open-source driver with workstation-grade cards at my employer for a while. The open-source driver didn't get full support for consumer-grade cards until version 560 which was only released around 6 months ago.
Debian with the mint UI. All of the debian memes, but none of the UI headaches!
There's also LMDE which is mint built on Debian instead of Ubuntu. The Mint guys had the foresight to prepare for a future when they'd get fed up with Ubuntu's nonsense.
Been using this for a while now. For my needs, it's the best distro out there.
Dang it, you gotta come in here and tempt me to distrohop... That's a dang attractive choice.
LMDE is everything you want, I assure you.
For me it's everything but the HDR support.
Same. I recently spent a few hours failing to either build gamescope from source or get the flatpak versions of gamescope and steam working together. Others got it working a few months ago, but their steps didn’t work for me and I just decided I’d rather spend my time playing without HDR than keep trying at it. Wouldn’t have been so hard on a disto better supported by gamescope.
Nobara has always been ahead on GPU drivers, I'm surprised you're having issues
