Agree - but even for the basic use case, it has not been trouble free for me. With a simple 1080p display on a desktop running LTS Ubuntu on an older 3060:
- I've had updates where stuff just stopped working and I had to futz around with drivers
- Just the fact that you have to 'pick' from a selection of drivers (which one won't you hit issues with for your use case?)
- At least on mine, there have been display glitches on suspend/resume - as it's a desktop, I just leave it running
Just anecdotal, but I never had these issues with the desktop AMD APU I had before it or Intel on board graphics on numerous laptops.
But once we're talking about laptops, hybrid graphics etc. it quickly shows that this is not a platform Nvidia cares about.
