I would not be surprised in the slightest if the cause of Nvidia drivers being absolute dogshit lately is because this absolute fucking MORON is forcing the devs to use AI to code the DRIVERS. THE ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT FUCKING AI MEDDLING WITH.
If Microsoft did it with Windows 11 (which resulted in various SSD failures for a bunch of people), I have no doubt in my mind that Nvidia does it too.
…yeah, that list is way too extensive to mention, but I also said that because if you are programming something that literally makes your hardware be understood by the operating system, it should not have coding that is not created by a human.
That’s binary blob drivers for you, you just try different versions and hope it gets better someday.
One of the big advantages to open source drivers is that you can do a bisect to track some new breakage back to a specific patch. Sure, most people don’t know how to do that, but there’s a lot of people who can. And then the problem gets fixed for everybody.

I mean… I can think of a lot more than just that one thing

Yeah I stopped updating ym drivers when I had several times an update that just broke everything. Fuck that I will stick with a version I know works
What is up with the drivers?
In a word - instability. Downgrading driver versions for Nvidia cards is not an uncommon troubleshooting step now, which is not ideal.
AMD had poor drivers because they were inexperienced
Nvidia has poor drivers because they’re shoving AI in all their holes

The most recent Linux driver limits the resolution of my HDMI output to 1080p for a 2k res monitor
But 2k is 1080p
