Manjaro updated to it this past weekend. It's been an utter nightmare. It's not distro specific. The errors and issues are across almost all distros. If your distro does not allow you to stay on a stable driver (Read: Most rolling distros, but not all), or if you're forced to brute force drivers for something older in, beware.

I'm actually switching to Mint as a result of this, because Arch and Manjaro are fucky about maintaining "old" drivers

Thanks for the warning. I used to run mostly stuff like Fedora/Arch at home but got lazy and just started putting mint on everything.

My homeservers are all various versions of things I wanted to mess with but mostly Rocky Linux right now.

Supposedly (From what the forums say), Nvidia is going to a "Forward thinking" approach. So this driver was designed soley with 50 series in mind. a 2070 super, like mine, is a back burner issue that can be resolved by just "using an older driver", which would be fine, assuming my distro allowed me to roll back to something older.....

If you can afford it, just use AMD or Intel in the future. I'm trying to find something affordable in AMD now, cause I'm sick of this Nvidia bullshit.

Yeah, my "old" graphics cards (some stuff in home servers for AI stuff I'm playing with at home) are old Nvidia cards I used to use until I built new desktops for myself and my wife. Both are now full AMD (GPU, CPU, etc).

I have really liked this Ryzen 9.

Those Ryzen 9 are sick. The benchmarks on them blow ANYTHING that intel has out of the water. I have a 5800X (7) for a new rig I will build for my wife in the future, simply because AM4 is cheaper overall to put together. DDR4 is about 50 bucks cheaper per 32gb, and the motherboards are 50-100 less.
