    I’m actually using Nobara, but it’s not very popular so I just say Fedora in day-to-day conversation. From my understanding, Fedora-based distros play better with Nvidia GPUs.

      Best of luck to you my friend. Like I said, fedora was my go-to for years, and I regularly fought against the Nvidia drivers and kept going back to windows.

      I’m running AMD now, so I’m hoping my experience is better than it was when I was using nvidia

        I’m responding to you, but this is more for others to see since you moved to AMD.

        I used Nvidia cards for many years on Linux and only recently switched back to AMD. The main issues I ran into with Nvidia were related to driver updates breaking things rather than things not working in general. So, I eventually found that holding Nvidia drivers to versions that worked without issues was the best bet and only updating them on occasion after they had been out for a bit and the consensus was that they weren’t breaking stuff.

          Just to make things easier on others (or myself of the amd drivers have similar issues), how would one go about holding the driver at a specific version?
