Noob question here:
I'm just about to buy an NVidia GTX 1070 (the nicest card my budget will allow). This will be the only GPU in the box.
A fresh install of Xubuntu 18.04.3 comes with a Linux 5 kernel. Once the proprietary drivers for NVidia for Linux are installed, I'd like to use the latest KDEnlive 19.08 appImage, and have Hardware-accelerated rendering "Just Work". Is this a sane plan?
Naturally, in KDEnlive, I'll pull down Settings -> "Run Config Wizard", where there is a nice button for "Check hardware acceleration", which I will press, before attempting a render.
Is this combination reasonable? When I search around looking for an answer, all I see are all sorts of tales of woe (many of which are perhaps out of date now) about some software component or another in this equation not having mature-enough software support yet.
Here it is, late 2019, have all the stars aligned now (CUDA support in the proprietary NVidia drivers, KDEnlive, and all libraries in between the two), for this to "Just Work" in the straightforward manner I expect?
