The issue of NVidia and Linux is not with the Linux distributions, as basically all Linux distributions can run the same drivers. In all versions of Linux, you just download and install the driver package you want. The issue is with proprietary versus open-source code for the NVidia hardware.
Since nvidia more or less only relies linux kernel (pretty standard) and xorg (pretty standard unless your distro is using bleeding edge and unsupported version by nvidia). So short and sweet answer would be, any distro that is capable of installing these drivers should do equally fine ( can’t help myself: but GENTOO does it better !!! x. D ).
Preferably a distro with good support for a desktop environment other than gnome or kde. Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Manjaro supports Nvidia quite good., po P_OS should be better than Ubuntu Manjaro is rolling hence drivers are more frequently updated. Solus is rolling and works well with all my nvidia cards. I also agree Manjaro and Pop would be good.
NVidia is an industry leader in the gaming industry. Their graphics cards increase the ability for computers to render thousands of triangles on a screen that translate into 3D graphics. This is how to get these devices working on Linux. Buy an NVidia graphics card, if you do not already have one.
Which Linux distros hate Nvidia’s graphics cards?
Most linux distros seem to hate Nvidia’s graphics cards e., and g. Fedora and Open, and suse. System76 have decided to be kind. They have decided to form a good relationship with Nvidia fans and Nvidia itself.
You may be wondering “Which Ubuntu version has the best support for Nvidia drivers?”
If you can wait till the end of the month the new LTS (20.04) of ubuntu should have added easy install for nvidia drivers. And with that, all of the flavors will as well. Solus, arch and pop are the best imo. Mint has also a good support for nvidia.
Does macOS support Nvidia GPUs?
But despite the reliance on AMD hardware mac. OS still included support for Nvidia GPUs. If you wanted to cram a Nvidia card into your older Mac Pro or rely on it for your hackintosh, then Apple and Nvidia had you covered. Until last year, when Apple stopped supporting CUDA with the release of mac. OS 10.14 Mojave.
Is Nvidia support still bad?
Support will always be bad until nvidia fixes its attitude to Linux kernel development. I have a laptop with a GTX 1070 and the proprietary nvidia drivers can’t even render the Linux framebuffer console.
Is your Nvidia graphics driver not compatible with this version of Windows?
Though, if a user suddenly gets an “ NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows” error during update/install, it causes panic. Since you can’t install the NVIDIA driver, there is no advantage of having the graphics card. Does this mean your windows do not support the driver you are trying to install?
