The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

    That’s never happened to me in at least ten years (and that’s with nVidia gpus). What kind of exotic setup did you run?

      I see posts like this all the time, I’ve had it happen once when I was running PopOS years ago and it was an Nvidia issue. Usually it’s older Nvidia cards, I’ve never had an issue with newer cards

        I see people having trouble with nVidia all the time as well. I’ve had numerous models from them in almost 30 years of desktop linux with very few issues. All in all they just plainly worked as advertised. You sometimes had to fiddle a bit to get the closed source drivers, depending on the distribution, but that was pretty much it.

        I never knew where their reputation came from.

        Note that I don’t especially endorse them, they’re definitely crooks. But then Ati/Amd only recently got something decent to the market.

      Although it did have an nVidia card, my PC was an otherwise ordinary machine running Ubuntu, not a gaming rig or something custom built.
