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.

Do you have a Gigabyte motherboard (perhaps a B550) by chance?
