nVidia on Linux

A simple list of resources for relatively pain-free setup of nVidia drivers (non-free) on Linux.

Distros with included Drivers

These are distros that ship with drivers included, and offer the best convenience.

However, both options have their respective cons.

• Arch via archinstall has first-class support out of the box.
  • Arch
• Pop!_OS
  • Debian/Ubuntu-based.
• Manjaro
  • Arch, but lots of controversies.

Installing Manually

• Fedora via RPMFusion - Resource

  • Has instructions for CUDA/CUDNN
  • NVENC
  • Suspend fixes and more.

• Arch via the Arch Wiki - Resource

  • Super detailed and explains well.
  • Has config for Wayland as well
  • Is harder to reproduce with a script like with Fedora.

Fedora is ultimately the best balance personally, but the other alternatives are good to know about and try out as well.
