for some reason people in the comments got really triggered bc of this meme… i was just saying that when my screen flickers i need to update my Nvidia rtx drivers and the FNAF 3 screen looks kind of like a terminal

    I’ll assume op is an Nvidia user since the only times I’ve had driver issues after an update was the few months when I still had a GTX card.

    Switched to AMD and literally no issues the last 2 years.

      As an AMD user i would like to share a list of the problems i’ve had in the past month, which happen to be the only hardware related problems i’ve had on the system:

      • Hibernation suddenly stopped working, destroying my ZFS in the process (Hibernation has since been fixed)
      • amdgpu shat itself (no vulkan devices, no opengl context) (and for some programs fixed itself) (resolved after reboot)
      • Fans stopped following their given fan curve (resolved by fw update)
      • CPU stopped thermal throttling (resolved by microcode update)

      Other than these my system has worked perfectly fine.

        hibernation has since been fixed

        Ongoing nightmare actually. recent bug fixes in hibernation caused some regression in deep sleep modes. Mostly fixable*.

      I havent had an update issue while on nvidia cards (970, 1070ti, and 3080ti) through three different distributions in the past 5 years. I think this is just meant to be a funny meme about how things used to be.

        Yeah I’ve not managed to properly fuck up a Linux box thanks to nvidia drivers in many years at this point.
