    Good news , it is just on their Copilot+ computers for now. For now is likely doing some heavy lifting there, though.

    I threw Mint on a partition to test moving away from Windows, and sadly does not play well with my 2080ti. This makes me want to put more effort into getting it to work…

      I honestly switched to PopOS, which has an NVidia version with the driver baked in, and it was stable as a rock. ended up just being easier for me. (Much better as a gaming OS all around tbh)

        That was the next thing i was going to try. Already have the bootable preview on a drive even. Maybe I’ll try that first before diving in to the wild west that is getting nvidia to work.

      There’s a lot of work going into nvidia on linux ATM, so its improving pretty fast, but Also you can get a faster amd GPU with the money you can get from selling your 2080 ti

      try $ sudo apt install akmod-nvidia. it’s gonna pull in some dependencies and a proprietary driver, and probably break Secure Boot if you have it set up, but that’s how i got it to work on Fedora (except i used dnf, of course)
