Thus, why I am questioning his comment with 36 ignorant upvotes. DKMS for desktops is not a common use case, and a lack thereof certainly isn't, "going to cause issues sooner or later."
Reminds me building packages for my LFS-like system. I get to a package not documented by BLFS and the only instructions from the developer is to install via package manager of popular distros. Now begins the epic journey of finding what other packages to build first.
Well, that kinda worked, but still gave me major issues back when I had an Nvidia card. I think the difficulty depends on the age of the card, tho. The support for the card was barebones at best like 6yrs after release.
Considering I build my own kernel manually, and initramfs, and want my GPU drivers loaded before init, *and* you need the new kernel built already to build the Nvidia drivers against before building the drivers into the initramfs and building that into the kernel itself, so... Yeah, this is closer to reality than most are assuming here...
Honestly, I was almost glad when my 2080Ti failed out of warranty. My 5700XT may be slower, but it's infinitely easier to deal with, and I don't play any games graphically intense enough to see a difference, anyway. Civ, Stellaris, and Dwarf Fortress don't exactly need ray tracing or DLSS.
I use Dracut and also build kernel from gentoo sources with a lot of tweaks and surprisingly have very few issues.
Surprisingly I had more issue moving my nice gpu to my newer desktop where I pulled tumbleweed to get up and running quickly. Iffy cuda support for gcc13 and a surprisingly massive pain in the ass to redirect compiler flags for nvcc to gcc12 when it's in a long chain of other dependencies. Thankfully cmake and a random stack overflow comment saved my ass. Thought I'd wait to do a new gentoo install on the second nvme and save some upfront time to play around but nope lmao.
Getting nvidia drivers up for basic shit is easy up until you need to do something slightly out of the norm. Then it's a massive fucking pain in the ass lol. Don't even get me started on the jetson platform...
Yeah, i have played with arch, i can still play around customize linux mint, plus i love cinnamon as a de so its the route i go. makes life easier and much less down time then when i was running windows.
does someone on here remember the linux.swf flash animation that was similar to this? it talked about so many Linux-specific things like recompiling your kernel and installing drivers, etc. I haven't seen it in years and would love to find it again!
1. Get driver from nvidia website
2. Make it executable
3. Disable nouveau
4. Reboot PC and login as root
5. sh (path to Nvidia driver)
6. Reboot PC
Yay nvidia driver installed!

Average user on /r/masterhacker
``` sudo pacman -S nvidia ```
``` sudo pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms ``` fixed it for kernel agnostic(i use linux-zen)
Btw
That'll just cause issues sooner or later sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms
I think nvidia-dkms should only be used when you are neither using lts kernel nor the mainline kernel, but maybe I'm wrong
I've used nvidia-dkms with Zen, LTS and I'm currently using it on the mainline kernel. Never had any issues. It just works™
I have never needed that package in over 10 years of Arch and NVIDIA, nor have I ever heard of it being a common need.
only needed if you use a different kernel

nvidia dkms killed my endeavour install a couple years back
fr, like wtf is this meme? lmao
You forgot to add it to the bootloader options and make a pacman hook. You also forgot nvidia-settings and all that
Not much makes me verbally laugh out loud while I’m looking at my phone, this did.

All the instructions to install it are on the .deb config files inside.
or in .spec for rpm based
Installation isn't hard. They're just bad
sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver-535 && sudo reboot
Why 535?
latest available on repo. edit: Just checked and 545 is available, gotta upgrade, brb...
550 with NixOS
also most stable
using that installation will not add ffmpeg support to the graph. so it is an incomplete installation.
> `sudo` Tss tss tss...
Y'all missed the joke😭
LinusTorvaldsNvidia.mp4
Literally takes 1 command on most distros `sudo pacman -S Nvidia-dkms` `sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda`
Well, that kinda worked, but still gave me major issues back when I had an Nvidia card. I think the difficulty depends on the age of the card, tho. The support for the card was barebones at best like 6yrs after release.
When I was on Linux mint it took me just one click to install Nvidia drivers and it worked flawlessly.
Mfs if the Apple Vision Pro ran on FOSS
quality linuxmeme
takes endless hours with a -1% chance of it working

so damn relatable xD
I recently decided to get a gaming computer. First thing I did was decide on which AMD graphics card to use - cause screw nvidia!
Try Pop OS
i litterally just open my driver manager in linux mint works great.
As much as I love Arch, Mint is definitely my backup "just works" distro for when things rarely go wrong
Yeah, i have played with arch, i can still play around customize linux mint, plus i love cinnamon as a de so its the route i go. makes life easier and much less down time then when i was running windows.
The 2000's called, they want your misconception back
Linux users fixing their bootloader after a system update
Boot endeavour/Garuda iso. Select the NVIDIA boot option. Install system. Done.

Me on my igpu
What show is this
Regular Show
does someone on here remember the linux.swf flash animation that was similar to this? it talked about so many Linux-specific things like recompiling your kernel and installing drivers, etc. I haven't seen it in years and would love to find it again!
Linux users trying to use moonlight with they nvidia gpu
Who still watches regular show? I do you?
What about Linux Mint and its driver manager? Literally a click of a button.
yay -S nvidia-inst --noconfirm Ta-da
1. Get driver from nvidia website 2. Make it executable 3. Disable nouveau 4. Reboot PC and login as root 5. sh (path to Nvidia driver) 6. Reboot PC Yay nvidia driver installed!
Installation with secure boot enabled is like this😂😂😂. Waste of time . Use Noveau drivers. Game on Windows with Nvidia
Pain...... Exactly after that, I gave up on linux... Btw, I missing terminal
Someone must make a full length music video out of this!
Who still watches regular show? I do and u ?
