Seeing you're using a flavour of Ubuntu, too: I'm running a mainline kernel (5.18.12) and the mesa drivers from the kisak-mesa PPA on Ubuntu LTS 22.04. (And I probably should upgrade that kernel). Works flawlessly.

I don't know what the
nvidia-smi
is, so I'm not going to miss it, lol. I am curious about the "kisak-mesa PPA" you mentioned, though. I'll look into it. I like hearing your recent move from NVIDIA to Mesa was a good experience. Thank you for sharing that.Last edited by Nanobang on 6 January 2023 at 1:34 pm UTC
Thanks Hamish for that nice welcome! :)
I've never been aware of problems with NVIDIA per se, but hearing your display problem reminds me that I've probably had them and not known they were caused by NVIDIA. When you do join Team AMD, get up with Hamish. He has cookies.

We now have the "libglvnd" (gl vendor neutral dispatch) so the old problem of the Nvidia driver breaking Xorg/Mesa doesn't happen anymore. It should be an easy transition.
I know it may make you apprehensive as you've relied on Nvidia for years, but nowadays, that's not necessarily where it's at for Linux anymore (in general). Mesa/amdgpu has gotten pretty good.
If not I fear no cookies can be provided,
YES! Well ... no. Because then Mesa would be extinct, and that would suck 'cause I just bought my first AMD GPU.
