I've had no screen tearing, no lags, no crashes of the Xorg server for the past 10+ years. Everything is smooth as it can be. I'm running XFCE without compositing under Fedora if that matters. Games work as well, don't remember any crashes. Suspend and resume work perfectly. Last time I've managed over 23 cycles until I had to install a new kernel.
The fact that Gnome is buggy as hell probably says more about Gnome rather than NVIDIA. KDE 5 has been a crap show as well.
Maybe just maybe your whole experience is indicative of Linux and its priorities [on the desktop]. Insisting on running half-assed Wayland is kinda befuddling to say the least. Overall it's all quite surprising when there's an OS which works nearly perfectly and that's Windows of course. I'm struggling to understand why people choose to go through multiple circles of hell just to run an OS with no direction, no QA/QC whatsoever and whose developers normally care only about their narrow use cases.
Why are you wasting precious time with Linux? Where are all your bug reports? I don't remember any topics made by you on NVIDIA Linux forums. This all looks quite pathetic to be completely honest. When I have issues with NVIDIA I pester them endlessly.
You said your Xorg server crashed. Where's the backtrace? Where's the coredump? How are Xorg/NVIDIA developers supposed to fix it?
You made it look like NVIDIA is an absolute shitshow on Linux while AMD experience is rock solid. That's not what I've heard from people running open source AMD drivers. That was certainly not my experience with AMD when I ran 5600 XT for five months having filed six bug reports some of which took a year to be fixed.
If you have a semi-decent NVIDIA GPU go sell it and buy something comparable from AMD. Why haven't you already done that 150 times? So much pain, so much resentment when everything can be solved in a matter of days, maybe weeks at most.
I don't have any relationship to NVIDIA, I don't own their shares, I've never received their products for free.
