I’m planning on changing to Linux eventually, but my PC has a 4060ti. I have heard that Nvidia drivers are a pain to install, and I don’t have the means to change to a non-Nvidia GPU. Am I in trouble?

    Barely a week later and I had to do the thing. My partner uses LMDE and Nvidia 535 is the newest version in their repos, but we need nvidia 565+ for Kingdom Hearts 3.

    Installing from the website wasn’t as hard as I remember.

    1. Blacklist Nouveau.
    2. As root, without an X server running, run the nvidia*.run file from the website
    3. Follow the prompts.
    4. Verify your initramfs rebuilt correctly before rebooting.
    5. Reboot and enjoy your actually current driver.
