Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

You don't need to update NVIDIA drivers every time there's a release. I don't even do that on my Windows machine. Most driver updates are just tweaks for the latest game, not bug fixes or performance improvements.

And hell, you're using Linux. Vim updates more often than the graphics driver, what do you expect?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It automatically happened,
I believe with every install of an updated Flatpak, which is rather often.

Been a while though, since lately I've been happily using AMD for quite some time.

But I do recall Nvidia driver updates slowing down my update process by a lot,
while I have none of that with AMD.

Ah, I always update the driver through the package manager and it never auto-updates.
