Honestly the only time I’ve had issues with my Nvidia card on Endeavour have been when I tried Wayland
Still going full AMD for my next PC upgrade.
I’m just annoyed with my multiple monitors on X11 one of them supports 144hz but since the others are 60hz x11 forces 60hz on all monitors.
X11 does support multiple refresh rates. It’s just that usually the compositor or window manager vsyncs every display, thus making everything refresh at the lowest refresh rate. Are you using KDE? If yes, place these variables in /etc/environment and reboot:
KWIN_X11_REFRESH_RATE=144000 KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1I have a 170hz for my main monitor and 60hz for my 2nd and it works, Just had to make sure my 170hz monitor was set to be my primary in the KDE display settings.
I think visually it might say the selected hz in my case 144. But I can tell that in practice it is not at 144. If I disable the other monitors only then does it actually go to 144. I’m not sure if I have a config issue, but I thought this was expected behavior from X11.
Think I also had to disable vsync globally. It was a while ago I had to set all that up so I’ve forgotten how to exactly.
Hmmm that might be the culprit, I will try that, thanks!
next week I’m finally going to get an AMD card and get rid of nvidia for good!

Replaced my 1080Ti with a 6700 XT when it was on sale. Couldn’t be happier. All of my wake from suspend issues disappeared.
The driver installation has got a lot easier over time, still shit that you have to install a driver, still shit support for older cards. The open drivers they’re building are too little too late for me. They didn’t care about my slightly older GPU so I stopped buying their hardware. All AMD/Intel from here on in.
I would also opt for an AMD CPU… my 2 cents.
If you have a system with nVidia and you want to run Linux, just use Pop!_OS and call it a day.
How is it for dualbooting with Win11?
Currently on OpenSuse Leap(on a separate hdd) because many linux recommendation articles suggested that it had the best out of box support for Nvidia n secure boot.
But debian/ubuntu-based systems do have the advantage of being popular. More tutorials n packages readily available.I think I’ve read that Ubuntu also supports nvidia drivers, but I had read that snap is polarising, with some people saying that it slows down the startup.
I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn’t even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn’t have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc
It just works
I like to dunk on nvidia as much as anyone but really driver support has not been as much of a problem these last few years, other than Wayland it sort of just works for me
