On: There has never been a better time to game on Linux

Nvidia drivers are a bit iffy sometimes, I will give you that. That said most major distros have builtin support and Arch has great docs for getting things going too.

Unfortunate. Although it inspires me to try again this weeekend with the latest Pop!OS.

I have a 3070 presently, though running on Ubuntu 20.04. The Nvidia 535 series drivers were dodgy, kernel hangs during install (!).

The earlier series (4xx through to 525) were pretty solid though, and the latest series (545) is pretty solid too.

Any idea if you might have been unlucky and installed the 535 series drivers last time around?

Good question. I was having those types of issues and I recall issues with booting the usb stick via EFI too. I did install the latest Pop!_OS and it works last night so clearly better this time around!

Cool, good luck. :)
