My message to Huang after spending hours trying to get nvidia/cuda drivers installed: think better.

What trouble did you have?

Ya know I used to have these types of issues more often but I was a.) on PopOS instead of arch (which i use now) and b.) it was awhile ago and the software seemed to have matured a bit.

As such, Im a little surprised to see someone blaming Nvidia specifically for issues rather than Windows, WSL, or any distribution of linux that makes it difficult to install software outside of the official channels (e.g. debian variants). Can you elaborate on the context?

Seems sensible to blame Nvidia for driver issues while everyone else provide upstream kernel and userspace drivers nowadays.

Linus expressed clearly what many feel on the matter.

POPos has a nvidia iso? I haven’t used it but did things go awry for you using that?

A few times. Hence the switching to Arch.
