Hi all

I'm familiar that Linux generally prefers AMD over Nvidia because of the closed restrictions and sharing of info etc Nvidia places on their graphic cards ... thus making AMD more Linux friendly.
However, I'm more a creator than a gamer, so obviously leaning more towards Nvidia as its best for creative apps performance ... but want to know, how badly are there issues with the very modern Nvidia 3000 series cards when it comes to using them with Linux?
I'm going to be using Windows and ideally would also like to run Linux as it uses far less resources and is far better at using Krita especially.
Is it going to be endless compatibility issues or other ... or is it minor or sometimes no issues with the latest Nvidia cards and Linux (probably Kubuntu)?

TIA

Might want to look at your other thread, where you asked (essentially) the same question, and were given a good amount of advice:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...pc-4175709588/

...and you seem to have asked about nVidia last year as well:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...or-4175705506/

So what more advice do you need???

Well clearly not getting advice from you.

With the first post you referenced, that was specifically regarding "Intel vs AMD" with regards in intergrated GPUs!
With the second post you referenced, that was with regards to my 10 year old laptop that hybrid nvidia GPU that couldn't use the latest linux drivers!
THIS post, in case you never managed to understand it properly, is asking about "issues with the very modern Nvidia 3000 series cards" as I'm looking into getting a new GPU for the system ... thus this thread!
If you can't offer anything helpful then don't bother posting.

And if you're not going to pay attention to what you're told, don't bother asking.

Your other thread said specifically that you were buying a newer computer:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...8/#post6339445

And your second post tells us that you have personal experience with how bad nVidia support can be. Seems like a waste of time to ask about something you've already received a ton of advice about, and have personal experience with.

You specifically asked in the past about graphics...you asked about nVidia or AMD, and were told about Intel graphics and CPU's, and were told to avoid nVidia. You complained last year about the Nouveau/nVidia drivers, and said you were having problems...and now you're asking if you should use nVidia??? Again, did you not read or understand everyones advice in your past two threads where nVidia is specifically asked about???

Yes...you can use it. Yes, nVidia does supply drivers and they are/can be a pain to install and keep up to date. Want to use nVidia? Great...buy one and move forward, You were told before that the Intel integrated graphics would be a good fit for you, based on what you said. What else would you like people here to tell you, that you haven't been told before?

Well, you can start by being a bit more polite. This is not a paid service and TB0ne was asking how this was different than your previous two threads were different. You could have replied to their question without that last line and more folks would be enticed to answer.

For your answer, according to their support page NVIDIA appears to have support for the Nvidia 3000 series in their Linux driver. So it should work fine. A quick search didn't come back with any major complaints about it, but I suggest that you do a search for "Nvidia 3000 linux compatibility" (replace 3000 with the exact model you are looking for. Without the quotes) and see what the results say. I have the GTX 1650 and am not facing any issues so far.

Clearly you're not paying attention or just on your high horse!
Again, the "other thread" of buying a new pc was with regards to INTEGRATED graphics ... Intel vs AMD iGPU CPUs!
The 2nd again, was with regards to my decade old laptop and an ancient nvidia driver!
THIS post was to find out about the latest nvidia GPUs (NOT integrate) and whether its anything better with linux or not!
Thanks for crappy attitude

Oh I'm very polite to those who are polite towards me. I didnt find TBone to be polite at all.
Thanks for your info however, that's pretty much the kind of answer I was looking for, without the crappy attitude questioning why I should be asking this in the first place.
If anyone can't offer a helpful reply or polite response, then just move on

Paying more attention than you, obviously.
Right...that was said before, and even quoted to you. Where you specifically asked about nVidia support/drivers, and were given ample advice to *NOT* use it.
Right...again, that is the one where you specifically said you were having issues with nVidia support, which is what was reiterated to you.
Right...again, that was explained to you. You were told specifically that the card mentioned here is supported under Linux. If you bothered searching the nVidia site, you'd have found the driver for it.

Again, what are you wanting to hear??? You had a nasty attitude from your first reply, and continue here. What's the point? Again, to spell things out clearly for you:

• You have personal experience with nVidia in the past
• You did not like it
• You asked again about buying newer hardware and specifically asked about nVidia
• You were told to *NOT* buy nVidia, and use the Intel integrated graphics instead, or use AMD.
• You now post THIS thread, asking if a specific nVidia card is supported, and asking if you're going to have issues with nVidia going forward

To sum it up: you already KNOW you're going to have issues with nVidia. You already have been told to not use nVidia, and were given options as to what to use. What else would you like people to tell you?? Your other thread even has motherboard options with integrated graphics suggested to you, along with pricing. How much more would you like???

The issue is that if you can't ask questions politely or insult people responding to them then they will "move on" as you put it without answering and it won't just be the person you were rude to, it will be most of the people. They will ignore a few times, try to correct you (like I did) but if they see a consistent pattern then people will just stop bothering. Where will you be then?

Why would I waste time trying to help if I am going to get attitude or rude comments in the response? This is a question you need to understand is what people will be asking themselves.

just my 2c. Whether you follow the advice or not is up to you.

Are you asking whether you should buy a Geforce 30x0 to run Krita?
