    Linux is super reliable, and unless you use cutting edge distro, it's pretty rare than anything breaks. Even Fedora is pretty stable from experience

    The only true problems I ever had (and still has), were with Nvidia. And switching distros ain't saving you. Linux mint? Breaks on suspend. Nobara? Memory leak. Trying newer versions to see if it fixes it? Where's my bootloader...

    I do understand that laptop RTX 3070 are not common, but still. I just want it to work, and have cuda on it. Is that too much to ask?

    unless you use cutting edge distro

    yea well, "arch btw". Haven't had issues really, been running it for years on other systems but my gaming pc with nvidia is the only one with issues... because of course it does. :D

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Of course. Mileage may vary. On some systems it may always work, on others it's "what's broken this week".

    [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    word. some devices just have angry machine spirits which just can't be pleased.

    Have you tried feeding them your youngest children?

    [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    haven't forked, no children. will neighbour's do?

    [–] tux0r@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

    Good idea. Try and report back. If it does not work, sorry!

    I use downgrade.

    e.g.

    downgrade nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings nvidia-utils

    Never had an issue with Nvidia. But then I'm using an Ubuntu distro because I just want my computer to work and I don't care about bleeding edge / rolling distros.

    And I will move to Wayland in a few years when all the issues are sorted out, which I suspect is part of people's problems.

    Linux is super reliable

    It depends on what you want to do with it, which version of which component you run and a couple of other things. In my own experience, if you want a "super reliable" system, get OpenBSD. Linux has a severe lack of QA, mainly because of its decoupled nature.

    Nobara memory leak? I've been using Nobara for a year and a half and have never heard of this.

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

    It also happens on fedora but to a lesser extent (somehow). It's all hidden under the Wayland session process

    It's always when I'm using my dedicated GPU, so I guess it's the driver being fucky.

    I have an oddball graphic card so might happen only on it

    I'm running a 7800XT, FWIW.
