- I kinda have a different view. That scene/song kinda ruin the whole movie for me. Apart from the song itself (which I have never particularly liked) the scene does nothing to advance the story.

From my experience watching play authors and directors mount a show, it seems that one of the hardest tasks for them to do is to cut lines and scenes, yet that kind of editing almost always improves the audience experience.

Just the other week I was at a table read of a rarely done Shakespeare play. I was following along with the full, uncut text and seeing all the lines and, even, pages, that were being elided to make the long show more palatable to an audience.

I had some weird issues with my 3080 Ti on Fedora 41 and 42 and have recently switched to a 9070 XT.

Most games ran fine, but other programs acted strange while games were open. Space Engineers, Escape from Tarkov, and a couple other titles wouldn't allow me to use other programs. The cursor would stay the same as in-game, even when alt-tabbed, and the Discord UI would become unresponsive.

I had several strange issues with my monitor flickering that didn't resolve until I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers.

I had a horrible issue with Minecraft and other OpenGL games that caused a strobing white screen while playing. I forgot how I resolved that one.

I had to reinstall drivers several times. I don't know how much of it was self-inflicted or just how it goes on Linux.

None of these issues have come up while on my 9070 XT.

The Nvidia issue is overblown IMO. Yes, it used to be petty bad a couple of years ago with bugs and glitches all over the place, especially with Wayland. These days not so much. Just use the proprietary Nvidia drivers and you will have a solid experience. It's honestly been over a year since I last had an issue that I could narrow down to Nvidia hardware.

Just make sure to read some reports from people with the same model of laptop. Laptops with very specific hardware can have compatibility issues.

I've been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It's from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I've had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).

I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It's kind of brilliant IMO.

Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn't recommended, but I've found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn't work right in a container) but it hasn't caused any issues for me.

Edit: I should say I can't speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.

I have a 3070 and generally I have no issues with gaming or working in X11.

I have previously had major issues with Nvidia and Wayland and I don't use Wayland as a result on that machine . Many of those issues may have been resolved now but at present there isn't a need to be using Wayland although it is being increasingly pushed. Problems I had were laggyness in the desktop, and videos becoming choppy if I had more than one major process running on the GPU (eg game and video in browser, or two browser windows both with video). I believe such issues have been fixed in the past 12-18m but I'm now in the habit of using X11 on the machine with no incentive to try Wayland again for now.

It is very easy to avoid Wayland - as simple as ensuring X11 is installed and then logging out of a Wayland desktop session and logging into an X11 session once and keeping with that as the default.

I do have a separate AMD machine with integrated GPU and that has been running Wayland from the get go. On that machine I've never even had to think about this issue and have just let my fedora based distro (Nobara) default to Wayland. It's been very much an Nvidia issue.

As long as you're using modern drivers, such as 570 or later (preferably 575), your experience should generally be fine.

Nvidia rightfully earned their bad reputation on linux, but over the last year or two they've put a ton of work into improving it, specifically in wayland support.

One of the last major open issues is DX12 performance. DX12 performance is kinda all over the place depending on your hardware, game, and game settings, but you can generally expect around a 20% performance hit to DX12 games compared to windows. DX11, opengl, and vulkan games perform about as well as windows. Dx12 performance on Nvidia has been a known issue for years and Nvidia was silent on it, but just a few months ago they finally publically acknowledged it and claimed they were working on it. In my experience, Nvidia typically pretends problems don't exist until they actually decide to fix them, so we can probably start expecting improvements to DX12 performance soon.

I've been exclusively gaming with Nvidia on linux (CachyOS) for about a year now and my experience has been satisfactory, so you should be fine.
