If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn’t order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn’t load.

    EndeavourOS shipped with the driver, right? Distros that do so tend to have the fewest problems with it, so you dodged a bullet there. A lot of problems arise during its install process or updates due to inconsistent integration or simply Nvidias incompetence (the driver module suddenly missing or not properly loading on a new kernel, stuff like that).

      I see, the OS installs it and I don’t have to do anything else after installation. I understand now what most people with Nvidia have to go through if they are forced to use a specific distro. I just assumed that most distros will handle that as well for the user.

        I tried endeavourOS, Garuda, pure arch, all with newest KDE plasma and automatically or manually installing NVIDIA drivers, games work, but I have never been able to get resume from sleep or hibernation working. I have a GTX 1080 ti. I’ve tried everything I can find in forums but nothing has worked
