Just recently moved onto Linux. Most likely not coming back when these kind of things just keep happening. I'm really surprised how well everything works. 120Hz HDR 4k Nvidia no issues on Wayland. Kubuntu 25.04/Plasma 6.3 is very nice. EasyEffects/PipeWire makes audio better compared to Windows. Steam/Proton/Wine works very well for games outside ones that have kernel level rootkits. Outside DualSense controller having issues connecting to bluetooth I can't think of anything that's worse than Windows while many things are better.

Love Linux. Finally moved over it more than 10y ago and never looked back.

Still a few minor issues though. Sleep doesn't work well with Ubuntu on a desktop PC with an Nvidia card. It frequently wakes up immediately, or the screen remains black upon wake up. And sometimes it just works. Same problem on different PCs.

Just a minor annoyance though. I love Linux. On a recent computer everything is so fast and snappy compared to Windows or even macOS.

Don't blame Nvidia's bad behavior on Linux.

That’s an ancient article - Nvidia have since open sourced their kernel mode drivers - https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

Yes the user mode side is still closed, but that was never really the issue.

That's not enough to make them be a nice member of the ecosystem. The bar is that the manufacturer submits changes to mainline kernel.

Actually, look at those commits! That repository is ridiculous. It's code thrown over the wall. Nobody but NVidia will ever work on that code.
