For real. Getting the NVIDIA drivers to work with newer kernels has been a total nightmare.

I've had to test out several combinations before I got a relatively stable config.

Now I'm afraid to apply an automatic update since I don't want to lose several hours to debugging BS driver issues.

>> a relatively stable config.

That's where I was on my last rig (AMD+nvidea). Every driver update was a dice roll. Am I going to play today, or spend three hours googling to figure out why my machine keeps booting into safe mode? Since I switched to AMD+AMD a few months ago: no issues. Maybe nvidea would give me a few more FPS at the same price, but you cannot put a price on "it just works".
