Phoronix: Running Clear Linux With NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver Stack

Following a Phoronix reader pointing out a NVIDIA driver setup guide for Clear Linux, I decided to have a go at it to see how well NVIDIA's proprietary graphics driver stack can work with Intel's high-performance Linux distribution.

You must be rally pissed to use the gnome3 desktop and nvidia cards when socializing my YouTube channel.

You are an IBM troll who is jealous of my high performance XFCE desktop.

Open your eyes you stupid moron! Learn to read the sites before postulate nonsense.

You are the stupid moron. My intel iGPU does not need any patches. The open source graphics drivers combined with the fast and ligtht XFCE desktop and low latency Debian Kernel, my system is much more faster than even NVIDIA RTX TITAN which is very laggy closed source software. I get 56 FPS on Counter Strike at 1367x768 and 34 FPS on Half Life 2 running Steam Proton. More info on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-fTMKrmKM0

I got the updated Clear Linux desktop reinstalled with Nouveau at the moment, but the PTS tests hangs the machine on the Unigine tests. I don't think its PTS per se, but an old GF7 card. uname shows 5.1.xxx native, so that meets the NVidia installation criteria. As soon as I get a solid test result to complete on Nouveau, I will swap over to the 2 different NVidia driver sets available. If it keeps hanging on the tests I will swap the GF7 out for something more current.

I really like the Clear Linux performance, just got to get used to the integration requirements.

See yourself. http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2527

An rc is Release Candidate, which BY DEFINITION does mean it is NOT A RELEASE. Quit posting bs.

NVIDIA themselves fixed their driver during the rc stage and it was working fine at release http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2552

This is their usual thing. As long as you aren't using rc kernels you are fine for NVIDIA support.

Not true, see: http://rglinuxtech.com/?cat=18

Patching is needed.

What?

Where on that page does it state that the nvidia driver needed patching for a kernel release?

I think Phoronix would be more popular if the main page had graphics and such. Even a simple thumbnail or something or other to grab attention. Seriously, this stuff works for the mass idiots. Hell, put graphics all over everything, everywhere. Probably get hits out the ass.

Please no, I really dislike sites like wired, ars techinica, the verge, with lots of images and wasted space.

It is confusing, it takes time to skim through it know what is written about, here in phoronix I read the headline and know if it is a interesting news to me (like RadeonSI change on LLLVM usage) or not (like RedHat/Scientific Linux new version)

I tried installing the NVidia driver last week on my Clear Linux build [...] and I got a large number of exceptions that many of the NVidia libraries could not be loaded [...] The GUI login page took about 3-4 seconds longer to refresh to the home screen over Nouveau.

Surely you wound up with software rendering if nouveau was blacklisted, and nvidia didn't load.

openSUSE Tumbleweed also has a short and relatively easy page about installing nvidia drivers "the hard way".
