My Nvidia driver dies every single update.

It's basically part of every update, first thing I have to do is reinstall the Nvidia driver via ssh every single time.

And maybe every month or so, when I reboot it comes up in some ridiculous resolution, like 640x480 or something. This is also fixed by reinstalling the Nvidia driver.

When I get a new desktop (main PC is Windows), I switch my linux server to my old hardware. I just bought an AMD GPU for my desktop so in a couple of years when I upgrade my desktop, I'll be rid of Nvidia bullshit once and for all.

I just went through this pain, and fortunately my gpu just died during the process so I jumped to amd. It's like a breath of fresh air, my computer just works now.

Except now there's a bug and I can't use the integrated Intel graphics at the same time. Great. Works fine otherwise though, and I don't have to fuck around with my drivers ever again
