    nvidia, i swear most of the issues i experience are nvidia related in some way yeah i know using a GTX 1080 with a i7 12700k isn’t like the best idea but when given the options of use said gpu and get reasonable framerates with the games im playing (but get massive headaches when something related to the proprietary linux driver eventually breaks, and it does) or use the igpu and get unplayable framerates (or low res) or unnecessarily buy a newer gpu that isn’t that big of a jump in performance for me to justify the price I’m sticking with dealing with nvidia

      I’m surprised that makes you want to move back to Windows instead of moving to another hardware platform. I guess it’s cheaper to go back to Windows but I’d just rather support a company that supports what I do.

      Same. I’m sitting here with a RTX 3080, so upgrading makes even less sense. I haven’t really encountered many problems, at least on X, but Wayland support is still a mess and I’m really missing VRR, which isn’t really a thing when using a multi-monitor setup on X.

      Given how things have been increasingly picking up speed lately I’m hopeful that it’ll only take a few more months until I can say goodbye to X and hello to Wayland and VRR.
