Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

I've used Nvidia GPUs with Linux with not many problems. These "horror stories" typically come from people who try to install a driver exactly the same way they would on Windows (by going to the Nvidia website and downloading something) whereas on most Linux distros it's actually much easier.

On Mint, you basically just have to open the "driver manager" and click on the recommended Nvidia driver. Then reboot. :)

There is also a guide available on It's FOSS.

Thinking about finally getting one. The 512GB OLED does look very good...

I also wonder if they're ever going to have a non-handheld console (essentially a revamped Steam Machine). I've heard a bunch about people building PCs and running Holo ISO on there as a console replacement, might make sense to have an official solution from Valve.

Privacy with Google's Gboard

My main deal breaker with most open source keyboards is the usually pretty bad multi language support. I type in three languages all the time and don't want to have to switch keyboards every time I switch the language. Currently using SwiftKey, just because it handles multi-language (fairly) well.

How to argue reasonably

From a logical point of view, I tend to mostly agree. The issue is, however, that many people only really change their opinion when they figure something out by themselves. While, in an argument, they won't be able to come back with anything, they'll often still hold on to their original opinion. If your goal is to change somebody's opinion, it can often be more effective to drop subtle hints over time and make them come to their own conclusion.
