Edit: “Updating to the legacy 580xx drivers doesn’t show me a desktop anymore”, just in case someone else can stumble upon this by searching something similar.
Thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] I did try fixing it out of curiosity. I had forgotten to install linux-headers. Hopefully someone who actually has the same problem as me, and needs to fix it, can use the tips given in the comments. On my end, I just had to install linux-headers and one reboot later it worked.
Always check if you have all needed packages and don’t just “remember” that you had them installed.
Sell nvidia and buy amd.
Already bought intel. I am quite fond of the B580.
how is it? I heard it’s a good hardware but terrible drivers, at least on windows. I don’t know the state of intel GPU drivers on Linux.
It’s quite an upgrade from my previous setup so I cannot tell you if it is good since my comparison is a 1050ti… But they’ve also made improvements to the drivers, even on windows as far as I remember.
Good, as long as you checked the driver situation beforehand right… Right?
I did and I am quite happy with the state of them. Also Linus himself is using a B580 so it can’t be that bad (he doesn’t game on it)
Good to hear
