    I recall having fairly trouble free run with GF 1060 on Fedora on a desktop.

    However having an AMD cpu and nvidia dgpu in a laptop is a fuckin’ nightmare. Probably only Broadcom and Mediatek are more random when it comes to drivers. Good thing is that you can plop out a wifi card and get an Intel one for €20.

    Edit: I also run Amd 6800 and 9070 in 2 desktops and that just work. I never had to care for drivers.

      Unless if you have the random HP laptop where no Intel card works.

      (I have this laptop, there’s 2 ax200s that HP ships, one with Intel one with amd. No it’s not CNVIO)

        I had that on some lenovo many many years ago… also lovely.

        Luckily an EliteBook I got maybe 2 years ago allowed me to fix a bug in a wifi driver that mediatek introduced. There were workarounds, but fuck that. Ax200 fixed it.
