    Yeah I understand. It really is Nvidia holding Linux back and still the usage is growing every year, so not bad. It would be nice if the most popular graphics card maker could make drivers that work well with Linux but even people who worked on the drivers are admitting they are hell to work with.

      Ok so turns out for my issue there is a fix and I tried it and it worked and I can’t believe it.

      All I have to do is create this /etc/modprobe.d/99-nvidia-power.conf, add this to it

      options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

      options nvidia NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp

      options nvidia NVreg_EnableS0ixPowerManagement=1

      options nvidia-drm modeset=1 fbdev=1

      and run sudo dracut --rebuild and reboot.

        Ah I actually remember that fix!

        I used the same one a couple of years ago when I was on Nvidia. Cool to see it still does it’s job, but sad that it’s still needed.
