Sorry if I’m not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

    Ok, maybe don’t use an os that is designed around AMD if you have an Nvidia GPU.

    I used Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and arch (current os) and it worked great on every single one. I did a downgrade on arch three times now (average once every 10 months or so), but to be frank I did the same for other software, that’s more an arch thing than a Nvidia thing.

    It’s also the most up to date driver, at least on arch.

        at which point you have to go to specific distros or go through the PITA process of making it work, when AMD generally just works.

        Ok, I agree with this point.

        My counterargument is that those “specific distros” make up the vast majority of desktop Linux use. So it’s less that you have to choose a specific distro and more that you have to avoid niche distros.
        Doesn’t invalidate the core of your argument though.
