We’ve been using the open-source driver with workstation-grade cards at my employer for a while. The open-source driver didn’t get full support for consumer-grade cards until version 560 which was only released around 6 months ago.
Same. I recently spent a few hours failing to either build gamescope from source or get the flatpak versions of gamescope and steam working together. Others got it working a few months ago, but their steps didn’t work for me and I just decided I’d rather spend my time playing without HDR than keep trying at it. Wouldn’t have been so hard on a disto better supported by gamescope.
Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.
… Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it’s not the easiest of rides.
(I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)
As far as I know, the open-source driver supports CUDA now, as long as you’re using version 560 or above and the latest CUDA packages. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-transitions-fully-towards-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

For me it’s everything but the HDR support.

Nobara has always been ahead on GPU drivers, I’m surprised you’re having issues
